The law that required all printed materials in the 13 colonies to have a stamp from Great Britain was the Stamp Act of 1765. This legislation mandated that many printed items, including newspapers, legal documents, and playing cards, bear a tax stamp, thereby generating revenue for the British government. The act was met with widespread protest and contributed to rising tensions between the colonies and Britain, eventually leading to the American Revolution.
After the colonists refused to accept the Stamp Act, which imposed taxes on printed materials, Britain responded with increased enforcement and a firm stance on its authority to tax the colonies. The British government maintained that the act was necessary for funding the protection of the colonies and expected compliance.

This tension set the stage for further conflicts between Britain and the colonies.
