What was the Stamp Act? The Stamp Act was a tax imposed by the British government on the American colonies. British taxpayers already paid a stamp tax and Massachusetts briefly experimented with a similar law, but the Stamp Act imposed on colonial residents went further than the existing ones.
The Stamp Act of 1765 was a law passed by the British Parliament that required the American colonists to pay for an official stamp on almost every piece of paper they used, â¦ from newspapers and pamphlets (pamphlets were one of the most important ways to spread news and opinion in those days), official documents such as wills and deeds, and even playing cards.
