Question

Colonists put pressure on the Parliament to repeal, or do away with, the Stamp Act.

Explain what this means and provide support for your answer.

Answer 1

It means that they were disgruntled and continued to get aggravated the longer parliment kept the stamp act.

Step-by-step explanation:

They were not happy about being taxed for all of their paper products, and they were even less happy that their taxes did not help their community or representation in any way. They wanted it repealed along with many other taxes as they were paying their government unnecessary amounts. If you were having money taken away from you for no reason, how would you feel? I would want it to stop just like the colonists did.

Answer 2

The Stamp Act was passed on March 22, 1765, leading to an uproar in the colonies over an issue that was to be a major cause of the Revolution: taxation without representation. Enacted in November 1765, the controversial act forced colonists to buy a British stamp for every official document they obtained.
