Do you mean Stamp Act? Because, if so, Virginia House of Burgesses adopted Patrick Henry's Stamp Act Resolves. These resolves declared that Americans possessed the same rights as the English, especially the right to be taxed only by their own representatives. Hence the phrase "No taxation without representation!"

Hope that helps!!!
