Stamp act was one of several different revenue laws that was put in place to raise money to pay for the soldiers in the backcountry and pay off the war debts. This also created new enforcement powers that took away powers from the colonial governments. Colonial objections were economic and philosophical to the stamp act. We don"t want to pay your taxes, and because we didn"t get a say in them . Colonists experienced financial difficulties with the new revenue laws in trade between europe and colonies, and the colonies and the rest of the world. Limits colonial government"s power to tax themselves. British political culture is at a high tide of imperial nationalism. Britain is currently free, protestant, and anti-french.
