On March 22, 1765, the British Parliament passed the "Stamp Act" to help pay for British troops stationed in the colonies during the Seven Years' War. ... Adverse colonial reaction to the Stamp Act ranged from boycotts of British goods to riots and attacks on the tax collectors. How ever it was required that the colonists to pay a tax, by a stamp, on various, documents, and playing cards. The British government was a doing a direct tax imposed without a consent from the colonial legislature and payable in hard-to-obtain British sterling, rather than colonial currency.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
