After the so-called French and Indian war, the Stamp Act was introduced by Great Britain to help cover the cost of British soldiers being stationed in America. Great Britain thought this reasonable since the soldiers were there to protect the citizens living in the colonies.
Opposition against the Stamp act was not caused by its burden, since rates were not very high and most everyday citizens did not much use official "stamped" documents anyway. It was mostly a matter of principle, namely that of 'no taxation without representation (i.e. in the British Parliament) and/or the principle that raising taxes should be the exclusive right of the American States themselves.
