Answer 1

The most hated tax act by the colonists was the **Stamp Act**. Enacted in 1765, it required colonists to purchase special stamped paper for legal documents, newspapers, and other publications. This direct tax was met with widespread protests and contributed significantly to the growing resentment toward British rule, eventually leading to the American Revolution.
