Answer 2

d. The law had existed in England for years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Stamp Act of 1765 was an Act of Parliament that imposed a direct tax on the British colonies in America.This tax also required all printed materials from the colonies to be produced on paper produced in London. Moreover, this had to be paid in British currency. This act was extremely unpopular in the colonies. The people felt that they had already contributed enough during the French and Indian War, and believed that this was an abuse on the part of England.
