Answer 1

The Sons of Liberty were formed primarily in response to the Stamp Act of 1765. This organization consisted of American patriots who opposed British taxation and sought to protect the rights of the colonists. The Stamp Act imposed a direct tax on a wide array of printed materials, which fueled resentment among the colonists and led to organized protests, including those by the Sons of Liberty. While the Sugar Act and other events contributed to colonial unrest, the Sons of Liberty are most closely associated with the response to the Stamp Act.
