Answer 1

1. It placed a tax on documents.

The Stamp Act of 1765 was a tax imposed by the British Parliament on the colonies of British America. The act required that many printed materials in the colonies be produced on stamped paper produced in London, carrying an embossed revenue stamp. These printed materials included legal documents, magazines, newspapers and many other types of paper used throughout the colonies. The Stamp Act was widely unpopular among colonists and was one of the major grievances that led to the American Revolution.
