which group wrote to the king that parliament did not have the right to tax the colonies was the stamp act congress
The thirteen colonies became angry with King George III for several reasons, including his imposition of various taxes such as the Stamp Act and the Tea Act without their consent, which they viewed as unjust and a violation of their rights as British subjects. Additionally, they were frustrated by the lack of representation in the British Parliament, leading to the famous slogan "no taxation without representation." The colonies also resented the presence of British troops in their cities and the restrictions placed on their trade and commerce by the British government. These grievances ultimately led to the American Revolution and the colonies declaring independence from British rule.
British laws that affected the colonies were made by the King and the British Parliament. The colonists had no voice in the laws.
King George III
The colonies did not like the king, probably because the high taxes on tea and other things.

King george iii
King George III.
The king viewed the colonies as a source of money, therefore, taxing them to raise money for his wants and needs, he basically benefited in that way by keeping the American colonies.
The colonists objected to the tax laws and tariffs that were being imposed upon them by Parliament. Prior to the French and Indian War, Britain had allowed the colonies few taxes and more self governance. They viewed the acts as the attempted subjugation of the colonies by King George and Parliament. They also objected to being forced to pay taxes when they had no representation in Parliament.
During the 1700s the only authority that had the power to levy taxes in the American Colonies would have been the King of England along with the British Parliament. At the time of the American Revolution the King was George III. This was just one cause of the Revolution. The Colonies had no Representatives in the Parliament.

Britain was, at the time, ruling America. Their king was the king of the American colonies, and Britain's Parliament made decisions about the colonies. Britain was what the Americans were rebelling against. The American colonists, tired of British rule, rose up and won the American Revolution, shaking off Britain's main hold of the new continent.
The Declaration of Independence was written to King George, and Parliament declaring the American colonies were now independent states, free of British rule.
