The Stamp Act was the first document in which the English believed they were being taxed without representation. The Stamp Act required all formal documents to use a British seal and be printed on British supplied paper.
The Stamp Act - It was passed into Parliament because the British needed money (taxes) from the Colonists to pay for THEIR war. The Seven Years War with the French. Americans were required to pay tax on every piece of printed paper used. Ship papers, legal documents, licenses, newspapers, other publications, and even playing cards were taxed. They taxed everything they used on a regular basis.The Quartering Act - Required all Colonists to house and feed the Redcoats at their own expense.The Townsend Act - Taxed tea, sugar, glass for windows, paint...etc.
I believe that you are referring to the Stamp Act passed in 1765 by the British Parliament, which was one of the precursors to the American Revolution. The Act taxed each and every piece of paper that was use in the Colonies such as documents, newspapers, ships papers, legal documents, even playing cards, etc. The Act was explained as being used to pay for the cost of supplying British troops to protect the Colonies. This also was an issue that antagonized those rebelling against the Crown.
The British taxed all paper documents, and the colonists did not think it was fair and was angry with this law.
