The Stamp Act 1765 The British parliament passed a law stating that all legal documents, newspapers, contracts, and even playing cards were to be taxed. Once the tax was paid by the colonies, each item would receive an official gov’t stamp or seal, proving payment was received.

Colonists objected to these acts by refusing to buy tea and by making their own paper. Many colonial homes even went unpainted in protest. Townshend Act- 1767
