The stamp act of 1765 angered colonists because british citizens in the colonies did not have to pay the taxes. the tax was so high it prevented people from buying paper. they did not have representation in parliament. tax collectors were able to take people s property

The right answer is they did not have representation in Parliament. In 1765, Parliament passed the Stamp Act, which created taxation stamps to be bought and affixed to every form of printed matter used in the colonies, including newspapers, pamphlets, etc. From the start of English settlement in America, free colonists had come to take for granted certain essential principles and practices: self-government, religious freedom, economic opportunity, and territorial expansion. The tensions between the colonies and mother country began to take on moral and spiritual overtones associated with the old Whig principle that no Englishman could be taxed without his consent through representative government.

so what is your question?
