The American colonists responded to the Stamp Act of 1765 with outrage and resistance. This led to the writing of the Declaration of Rights and Grievances, which was a document that outlined the rights of the colonists and their grievances against the British government. It was written in order to protect the individual rights of American citizens and to ensure that they were not subject to taxation without representation.
