This act, passed in 1765 by the Parliament, imposed a tax on each piece of paper that every colonist used. This includes "ship's papers, legal documents, licenses, newspapers, other publications, and even playing cards". This money was collected by the British to help pay off all the expenses of the French and Indian War. The actual money the colonists had to pay was not problematic, but they were more offended by the intentions of the Stamp Act. It was passed by the British Parliament without the approval of the legislature in the colonies. No tax before was used to raise money. Taxes were originally viewed as a measure to "regulate commerce".

to the English Edition of the Report:

"The mistaken policy of the Stamp Act first disturbed this happy situation; but the flame thereby raised was soon extinguished by its repeal, and the old harmony restored, with all its concomitant advantage to our commerce"
