Question

Do you think the Stamp Act was fair/reasonable? In other words, do you think the colonists were right to protest the tax or should they simply have paid it? Explain.

Answer 1

Agreed, great answer. This is a good example of what is being shown.

Answer 2

Answer/Explanation:

The Stamp Act was very unpopular among colonists. A majority considered it a violation of their rights as Englishmen to be taxed without their consent—consent that only the colonial legislatures could grant. Their slogan was "No taxation without representation". The Stamp Act was also a way Britain controlled the colonies. This was not fair in the slightest.
