The Stamp Act of 1765, which imposed a direct tax on the colonies requiring them to purchase special stamped paper for legal documents, newspapers, and other publications, faced widespread opposition and protest. In 1766, due to the strong resistance from colonists, including boycotts and the formation of groups like the Sons of Liberty, the British Parliament repealed the Act. However, the repeal was accompanied by the Declaratory Act, which asserted Parliament's right to tax the colonies. This led to ongoing tensions between Britain and the American colonies over issues of taxation and representation.
