The Stamp Act extended a tax that was long-standing in Great Britain to the colonies in America. The tax was imposed on all legal documents, newspapers, pamphlets, and playing cards in the colonies. The colonists were outraged by the tax, as they believed that it was unfair for them to pay taxes to Great Britain when they had no representation in Parliament.
