The Stamp Act effected everyone - so the colonists believed that everyone should have a say in these taxes. But many people were excluded from the right to vote for colonial assemblymen, including artisans, mechanics, laborers and women. The protests spread - committees and societies were formed pledging to resist the Stamp Act to the bitter end. These popular societies were known as the Daughters of Liberty and the Sons of Liberty. These people despised the 'lame' protests of the elite colonists - they favored more extreme measures.
