The Stamp Act of 1765 was the first significant legislation that asserted Parliament's right to tax the American colonists. It imposed a direct tax on a wide array of printed materials, including newspapers and legal documents, leading to widespread protest in the colonies. This act marked a pivotal moment in colonial resistance, as it was seen as a violation of the principle of "no taxation without representation." Ultimately, the backlash against the Stamp Act helped galvanize colonial unity against British rule.
