It affected the colonists' trade towards other parts of the world, it made them pay high taxes on tea, sugar and any document that was written on paper. It also had colonists' quartering British troops. Most laws were unfair to the colonists'.
They were angered because they felt the rules were unfair and that the British government was being unlawful and that that they were being treated poorly which is what brought on the war. I hope I answered your question:)
The colonists felt that there should be no taxation without representation. Parliment had no idea of what the colonists were going through and just knew what the British told them. The colonists felt that if that they were going to be taxed, they should be taxed by their own represenatives.
The colonists believed that the British imposed taxes were unjust because they were taxing molasses and sugar which was a very clever way of taxing rum. this pissed them off because that was all that most people drank because the water would get people very sick.
the colonist were alot like why are you ruling us from over seas? why should we pay for something you owe? Why are half of the people here born here and not there!!
The Stamp Act of 1765 was imposed by the British Parliament on the colonies of North America to pay for the seven years war. The British Govermment thought that the Colonies would benefit from the Military presence and therefore should pay for a portion of the expence. There were no colonists elected to the British Parliament and so for Parliament to tax the colonists was seen as a violation of the British Constitution. The British Constitution guaranteed that British subjects should not be taxed without their consent. So this tax was a violation of the Constitutiuon. The colonists rebelled and declared - 'no taxation without representation'. The colonists rebelled with force and the Act could not be imposed and was repealed 17th March 1766
