Question

Help!!! Why did colonists oppose the Stamp Act?

Answer 1

The stamp act was passed by the british parliament on march 22, 1765. The new tax was imposed on all American colonists and required to pay a tax in every piece of printed paper they used. ships papers, legal documents, licences, newspapers, other publications, and even playing cards were taxed. That's why.

Answer 2

Becuase writing was one of the only ways of communication. When you have to pay for a stamp, that makes your way of communication limited. It would be like if you had to pay a dollar for every text you send. It makes it annoying and unreasonable. Hope this helps!
