One of the things they wanted out of their new country was 'no taxation without representation'. To them the Stamp Act was similar to laws they were forced to obey in England in that it forced them to pay a fine that they did not have a say in.

Colonists and the Stamp ActBecause it imposed a tax on materials such as newspapers, wills, insurance policies, land titles, policies, and other goods colonist used.

Colonist also boycotted all those goods till the act be taken away.Wiki User
