Was the British Stamp Act an unreasonable and unfair tax on the American colonies?
It depends on from which side you look at it from. The Colonists felt that it was unfair because up until that time period they hadn't been taxed by England, due to salutary neglect. However, the Colonists did cause the French-Indian War. This war costed England a lot of money. The only way to pay for the war was to tax the nation's subjects. England had every right to tax the Colonies. Furthermore, citizens living in England itself were paying higher taxes for a war the Colonies started. So the Stamp Act was reasonable and fair, but the Colonists did not feel that way. Any tax is "fair" if it passed by representatives elected by the people who will be taxed. The colonists were justified in claiming the tax was unfair since they were subjected to "taxation without representation." DIFFERENT SIDE OF THE DEBATE: Ant tax is "fair" if the tax is enacted by representatives elected by the people who will be taxed. The colonists were justified in claiming the tax was not fair since they were subjected to "taxation without representation".
