How was the stamp act different from earlier taxes imposed on the british colonies?

The Stamp Act was the first tax which the American colonists had to pay directly for the British.

Explanation:

Until the Stamp Act of 1765 the taxes were indirectly paid, the Americans colonists did not pay taxes directly, the merchants paid it. The Stamp Act required that all legal documents and printed papers used by the American colonists should have a tax stamp which was made by London and was taxed.
