Answer 1

The option that describes the Stamp Act is: It placed a tax on documents.

The Stamp Act of 1765 required that many printed materials in the colonies, including newspapers, legal documents, and other publications, be produced on stamped paper produced in London, carrying an embossed revenue stamp. This act was one of the first direct taxes imposed by Britain on the American colonies, leading to widespread protests and ultimately contributing to the American Revolution.
