Answer 1

"The Stamp Act was introduced by the British prime minister George Grenville and passed by the British Parliament in 1765 as a means of raising revenue in the American colonies. The Stamp Act required all legal documents, licenses, commercial contracts, newspapers, pamphlets, and playing cards to carry a tax stamp.
The act extended to the colonies the system of stamp duties then employed in Great Britain and was intended to raise money to defray the cost of maintaining the military defenses of the colonies. Passed without debate, it aroused widespread opposition among the colonists, who argued that because they were not represented in Parliament, they could not legally be taxed without their consent.
Opposition culminated in the convening of the Stamp Act Congress to consider organized means of protesting against the tax. Colonial businessmen agreed to stop importing British goods until the act was repealed, and trade was substantially diminished. Refusal to use the stamps on business papers became common, and the courts would not enforce their use on legal documents.
The unity of the American colonists in their opposition to the Stamp Act contributed substantially to the rise of American nationalist sentiment, and the conflict between the colonists and the British government over the Stamp Act is often considered one of the chief immediate causes of the American Revolution."

Answer 2

human beings complained relating to the stamp act, because of the fact they had to place a stamp on each paper article, such as mail or newspaper. the only violation grew to become into that the folk have been taxed while not having a representative in Parliament to argue their element of the tax difficulty.

It never fails to amaze me that people like you will use the computer to ask the question on Yahoo, but the idea of putting "stamp act" into a search engine is too much for your brain to handle. Laziness will get you nowhere in school. Please wake up...flipping burgers at Burger King is NOT an acceptable career!
