Colonial leaders objected to the Stamp Act through organized protests, petitions, and the formation of groups like the Sons of Liberty. They argued that the act violated their rights as Englishmen by imposing taxation without representation in Parliament. Leaders such as Patrick Henry and Samuel Adams rallied public sentiment against the tax, ultimately leading to widespread boycotts of British goods. These collective actions contributed to the act being repealed in 1766.
