King George's decision to pass the Stamp Act was aimed at raising revenue to cover the debts incurred during the French and Indian War and to maintain British troops in North America. The Act was intended to assert British authority and ensure that the colonies contributed to their own defense and administration. However, it ultimately sparked widespread dissent and laid the groundwork for the American Revolution, as many colonists felt it violated their rights as Englishmen. While it served a financial purpose for the British government, the Act was seen as overreach and led to significant resistance from the colonies.
