Colonists protested the Stamp Act because it imposed direct taxes on a wide range of printed materials, such as newspapers and legal documents, without their consent. They believed this violated their rights as English subjects, as they were being taxed without representation in Parliament. The act fueled widespread resentment and led to organized resistance, including the formation of groups like the Sons of Liberty, which sought to challenge British authority and defend colonial rights. Ultimately, the protests contributed to the act's repeal in 1766.
