It says in this textbook Patrick Henry.

Specifically, John Dickinson, a Quaker leader of Pennsylvania and Deleware, complained of the constitutional distinction between legitimate external taxes, duties on trade between the colonies, and unacceptable internal taxes, duties collected within the colonies. Not all Americans agreed with him, though many colonial legislatures did agree that only they could enact internal taxes. People who would be effected by the Stamp Act, like colonial lawyers, newspaper owners, printers, and tavern and inn owners, protested the Act. These groups were centered in cities and large towns where they were easy to organize. The Sons of Liberty did just that, holding meetings, boycotts of the stamps, and issued threats to the Stamp Collectors. Finally, delegates to a Stamp Act Congress sent a message to the Parliament to repeal the Act or suffer an economic boycott.
