What was the king of England point of views on the stamp act?

His goal was to have the colonists pay for the war that they had just had with the Indians. The war I am referring to is the French and Indian War (1756-1763). It was rather costly, and the King decided that the colonists should pay. He created several laws & taxes, & one of them was the Stamp Act. He believed this was a good way to get out of debt, but the colonists thought it unfair, as they didn't have anyone representing them in Parliament, where they approve taxes/laws.
