The stamp act made us, the colonists pay a tax on all sorts of printed materials. I don’t like this it’s making us lose even more money because of more taxes. Were waisting money because my husband mails his brother a letter every month and he lives in a different state so now it cost even more money. None of the other colonist like the taxing too and their starting boycotts against British goods and all I want is the taxing to repeal. The Quartering Act required the soldiers to stay in our homes. I don’t like how we have to let them stay in our homes, but if we didn’t let them stay we could get arrested. Since their staying in our home I had to sleep on the floor some nights. Their eating all of our food and I’m worried that we would run out. The other colonist also don’t like how their staying too. Their saying that their taking up to many beds and eating all the food. I know that the soldiers keep us safe but they are a bad influence to my children. Some colonists are getting so distressed that they started boycotts against British goods just like they did with the Stamp Act.

I do not like or appreciate the stamp act or the quartering act. What Britain was doing is not fair. I mean, I like having laws, but when they don’t do it themselves there is always an issue. We made the Magna Carta for a reason, to enforce laws. They can’t just raise taxes and just expect the jury to allow it. It is not fair to the colonists. We have no say in this situation. I alsodo  not like violence, I believe in peace. Also, O don’t like this becuase if I keep paying my taxes for the British, I may not have enough money for myself and my family. This would effect my life in a bad way and I think the other colonists are thinking the same thing as I am. The stamp act was an act that taxed on diplomas, news papers, books, playing cards, birth certificates, death certificates, and anything else made of paper. The quartering act was an act were the parliament suspended New York legislature. Also, the British soldiers had to be forced to be let into the colonists houses and had to provide food, shelter, and a bed for them. Let’s say you had two beds for you and your child. You would have to give up one of them for the British soldier. The parliament did this so they could save money. Like I said before, they are violating the Magna Carta. I feel like people would not be able to live with these laws for their lifetime and it is not fair to the colonists.

I don’t like the stamp or quartering act. I don’t appreciate what Britain was doing, they shouldn’t have went so for into debt so they wouldn’t have to go to matters like this. I like to Inforce laws but when they don’t do it themselves we have an issue. We made the Magna Carta for a reason, to enforce laws and can’t just decide  to raise taxes without a jury to approve. It isn’t fair for the colonists, I don’t like what they are doing but Britain should not go to these types of measures so they can pay of debt that they decided to do. By making everything have a stamp and by forcing colonists to make a home and provide food for solders isn’t right. But what makes us and the colonists upset is how they decide to do it. They don’t even consult with a jury they just do it. If they would think to just bring it to a jury like the Magna Carta states then we wouldn’t have an issue

It was a  Wednesday  morning I was working and washing clothes when there was a knock at the door. I told my master and he went to answer the door. I wasn’t supposed to spy but my master was very upset and soon enough a British soldier,was now living with us for free. I had to cook and clean even more now. This soilder has to stay with for free due to The Quatering Act. The soilder who is named John as I heard does not agree with my master as John is a loyalist and my master is a patriot. Also because of Th Stamp Act I can no longer afford playing cards which is what I do in my free time.

The stamp act taxed newspapers, wills, playing cards, diplomas, and any other printed paper products. This will cause conflict because they do not have a say in the taxing. Also the British are not following the Magna Carta. The quartering act required colonists to give soldiers a home and food. This can cause conflict because they would also not have a say on if they want to give them a home or not. This is taxation without representation. Also this could cause conflict because they are invading there personal space. The colonial houses beck then were very small and crammed. I would feel upset because I would need to spend more money because I would also need to provide food for the British soldier. This would effect my life because since I would need to spend more money on the soldier and I might not have enough money to pay my taxes because I am spending all the money on the food for the British soldier

I like having laws but their is always an issue,the magma parts was made for a reason and that reason was to enforce laws. I didn’t have much money to pay for the taxes for the British and not enough for my self and family, this is a really big issue for me because if I get taxed for news papers, playing cards, certificates,and everything else then i wouldn’t have enough money to help me pay for my own taxes. It is also not fair that we have to shelter and give to the British that come to our house for shelter.

The stamp act made duties on stamps for different items such as wills, playing cards, diplomas, mortgages, certificates and more. The main point of the stamp act was that the colonists needed to buy special tax stamps for products and activities. The protests against the stamp act spread to every colony. This got the colonies upset because they didn’t have representation in Parliament. They also thought the stamp act was violating the Magna Carta. My colonial character( Mrs jones) would not like the stamp act because it’s violating the Magna Carta and everyone is supposed to follow it. I like to be fair so this would not be fair if my family and I had to pay taxes on a lot of different products. Another Act that happened was the The Quartering Act. The Quartering Act was to save money. The colonists were required to provide the soldiers with food, shelter, and other supplies. The colonists got very upset because they thought the Parliament was violating the rights. The Bristish even suspended New York’s local legislature even though it never took place. If me and my family had to have soldiers just going into my house with no permission and having my privacy invaded I would really dislike that. I need to stay productive and keep my plantation, and family healthy and I would not have time for soldiers living at my house. If I reject the soldiers I could get into serious trouble and the soldiers might start a militia. Peoples rights are getting violated and we need to make a difference!

The stamp act was a very bad act. The act placed a duty-import tax on many paper products such as wills, playing cards, diplomas, mortgages, and more. That is the only was to  communicate. I am not upset because of the taxes, but because he’s going against the Magna Carta. Those are the laws the the colonists basic human rights. I truly understand why everyone is protesting. I would join, but I don’t want to get caught and have a lifetime in jail with no trial for justice. I’m sick of the king thinking he can do whatever he wants to us because he has a lot of power.
The Quartering act of 1765 was in place to save money by making everyone House a soildure living in the colonies. Many people including myself are angry, but we let them in the house because they are armed and can throw us in jail. Again, the king violated our rights because he didn’t give us ( the colonists ) a say in if we wanted this act to occur or not. I’m super angry because the king thinks of us as subjects and not as people. We would never cede-surrender to the British.

Yesterday afternoon I was surprised by what happened, a soldier named John came to my house. He said that we have to provide food, housing, and other supplies for him. He said it not he idea, the government’s. He seemed awfully sorry, we had to choice to but to let him stay. If we did not let  him stay, my husband could’ve been arrested, then he would not  be the Governor of the New York Colony and my family would not be wealthy anymore. I am starting to get upset over these new laws. This might also start conflict becuse some of the poorer family’s only have 1 or 2 beds and if a soldier comes to their house it will make them upset. That means that some people will have to sleep on the floor.
I do not like the stamp act at all. It forces me to buy stamped paper by the government, this paper also costs extra money. The government put a duty on paper, something that every colonist uses. Even though my family is wealthy, the stamp act is still affecting me. My family andI use paper for many things, my will is on paper and my family and I like to play cards. These laws make my family, me, and many other people upset. The stamp act will cause conflict, I know it. I know that many small militias are already forming and I think my husband is leading one. This act causes conflict because many people use paper and they are not only upset that it has tax on it but also that they had no say in weather it was going to be taxed or not. I think we should repeal these laws.

The stamp act placed duties on all paper items such as playing cards, newspapers, certificates, wills, etc. The quartering act required the colonists to house, feed, and give other supplies to the British troops. This angered the colonists because they believed that their rights were being violated, and the king was not following the laws that were written in the Magma Carta. This would cause conflict because the colonists will decide to protest to get their rights back, therefore the government will respond to this and fights will break out in disagreement.
I personally do not  agree with any of these acts, I feel that our rights are being majorly violated.  For example, I have a pretty decent size house, with five beds. One for me and my wife, one for each of my children, and one for my indentured servant. Then one day a soldier knocked on my door and said that he was living with us. He needed a bed and we needed to cook for them, because of this I had to move my indentured servant into my oldest daughters room and she has to sleep on the floor with just blankets. We also had to cook larger meals to accommodate the soldier. Our house was very crowded. I buy a lot of items made of paper regularly like playing cards for the people in my house, a lot of certificates, and a lot of newspapers. All of the extra money I was paying in tax really added up and it was very expensive. I did not like that the king was not following the laws in the magma Carta , it was very unfair and us Colonists had no representation.

I don’t appreciate the Stamp act and the Quartering act. I don’t like to argue nor fight but this is violating the laws. We have the Magna Carta for a reason,

# data[].attributes.body
The stamp act required that all colonists buy special tax stamps for all kind of products and activities. This act placed import tax on a lot of useful stuff like will, anything paper, playing cards, diplomas, mortgages. This made me and a lot of  colonist angry. The quartering act of 1765 made me and a lot of colonist fell like they getting violated. We would have to give anything to the British soldiers, anything they wanted like bed,food, and any kind of products. This was felling violated to colonist because if anyone came to my house and ask for bed and some other stuff I would fell so violated. I would never surrender to British and fight form our rights.

I was reading a paper and I saw

Recently here in New Jersey, we have experienced some new taxes and laws that passed Parliament and now can really effect some of the colonists lives. One of the acts that has just been made is the Stamp Act. This law states us colonists are required to buy certain papers with a certified stamp on them. By putting this stamp on things such as Wills, playing cards, Newspapers, diplomas, all morgeges and insurace, and our Death Certifacate, with a duty will give them money. This money  will go back to the British. All of this tax will add up for us and they will gain their money back.
Another problem we have is the Quartering Act of 1765. This is a Act in which colonists must feed, give water to, and let soldiers live with them. These are soldiers that we don’t even know and never met before. They did this to try and save some money so we won’t have to pay for them. This is very unfair to us because we don’t know if the soldiers will take all of our food or maybe even trash our house. We have Boycotted numerous times and are hoping they might repeal it. I think everyone at this point is infuriated because King George III has violated the Magna Carta so many times we can’t count.

One Friday afternoon in the middle of June I got an unsuspected knock at the door. When I opened the door, there was a British soldier at the door. He demanded that he be allowed to stay in my house for the night and I also had to provide food and shelter. I couldn’t say n because of the Quartering Act, so I let him in. This guy was a pig though. He ate all of the food so my wife, kids and I couldn’t eat. He also demanded to sleep in my wife and my bed so I had to sleep on the floor. As for the Stamp Act, it doesn’t affect me much. I do have to pay taxes on my certificates. I also have to pay tax on other things like documents and newspapers. Some townspeople are boycotting buying imported goods. Both of these Acts I am not in favor of. I also wish they just gave us some representation. It is against the law to tax us without representation according to the Magna Carta. People are talking about writing a petition. I am sick of hearing people say “no taxation without representation.”

I opened the door, which is the biggest mistake I’ve ever done. It was the time where there were boycotts. Which suprisingly I like. Solders were at my door, which terrifies me. He told me to move which I hatefully did. He told me to make him dinner and show him his bedroom. I cooked him dinner and showed him his room. Go thing I was a loyalist. Which I now regret. I showed him his room. Which was the one who had the most dirtiest bed out of the whole house. When I was making him coffee i for got it was taxed. Which is very unnecessary. My day ened as badly as it could have.

I was in my kitchen eating soup when I got a knock on the door. I wheeled over and asked who it was. It was a soldier. He said he was going to live in my house. I was furious. I knew I was not aloud to say no so I let him in. I was a British Captain so I understood what he was going through but my house is not meant for a soldier it’s meant for the slaves to clean and for me and my wife to live. My wife would now need to make food for him and me. This is very annoying and frustrating. We also now have to pay paper everything. Which isn’t that bad but we never even had a say. This goes against the Magna Carta. That is English law and it has been broken. We are going to boycott the paper products and all the other products taxed. We do this hoping for a repeal in the act. I’m thinking we should write petition to the government bringing them awareness to the subject and showing them That we are angry

Personally I do not like the stamp act. First of all, the stamp act was violating the Magna Carta and it gave us no say. We should have say because I believe in equality and this is not equality. It’s only equal in the britishes eyes. However in the Colonists point of view it is unfair and it is violating their rights. I also do not like the quartering act because it is violating their privacy rights. The quartering act is requiring the Colonists to hospitalize the soldiers and this is also violating the Magna Carta because it one again gives the Colonists no say. This is also bad because this could cause protests and violence and I don’t like violence. All in alll I don’t like the quartering act and the stamp act.

The stamp act was an act that taxed on marriage certificates, wills,diplomas, newspapers, playing cards,books, birth certificates, death certificates,and mortgages. The quartering act was an act where the parliament suspended New York legislature. Also British soldiers had to be welcomed in to colonists houses and had to provide food , shelter , and other supplies. The parliament did this so they could save money. In my perspective I believe that this is a right move on England to save money. I also believe that they are violating the Magna Carta though. I can totally see why other colonists would not agree with me but I still think this was smart on England’s part and I feel like people should just deal with the laws

The Stamp Act placed duties on stamps for different documents. Newspapers, wills, licenses, insurance policies, land titles, contracts, playing cards, diplomas, certificates, mortgages, and books are just a few of the documents that required stamps. The Quatering Act stated that colonists had to provide soldiers with a shelter, food, and water. This angered the colonists because they felt that their rights were being violated, and the laws that were written in the Magna Carta were being broken. I don’t like these new laws because sometimes, soldiers just appear and my house randomly and make us cook for them and give them beds. We don’t have enough beds for our family and the soldiers, so I have to sleep on the ground with no blankets and no pillow. I do agree with the colonists that our rights are being wrongfully violated, but the way they are protesting is a little too much. Burning down houses and dummies is a little much. However, my family and I are boycotting paper and any document that requires a stamp. These new laws are very unfair, and something has to be done about it.
