Answer:

The Stamp Act, passed in 1765 required the use of special paper bearing an embossed tax stamp for all legal documents.

All the colonists were mad because they thought the British Parliament shouldn't have the right to tax them. They protested, saying that these taxes violated their rights as British citizens.
