Stamp Act Essay
The passing of the Stamp Act by Parliament in 1765 caused a rush of angry protests by the colonists in British America that perhaps "aroused
and unified Americans as no previous political event ever had." It levied a tax on legal documents, almanacs, newspapers, and nearly every
other form of paper used in the colonies. Adding to this hardship was the need for the tax to be paid in British sterling, not in colonial paper
money. Although this duty had been in effect in England for over half a century and was already in effect in several colonies in the 1750's, it
called into question the authority of Parliament over the overseas colonies that had no representation therein. When the news of the passage of

That the late Act of Parliament, entitled, An Act for granting and applying certain Stamp Duties, and other Duties, in the British colonies and the
plantations in America, etc., by imposing taxes on the inhabitants of these colonies, and the said Act, and several other Acts, by extending the
jurisdiction of the courts of Admiralty beyond its ancient limits, have a manifest tendency to subvert the rights and liberties of the colonists.
Lastly, That it is the indispensable duty of these colonies, to the best of sovereigns, to the mother country, and to themselves, to endeavour by a
loyal and dutiful address to his Majesty, and humble applications to both Houses of Parliament, to procure the repeal of the Act for granting and
applying certain stamp duties, of all clauses of any other Acts of Parliament, whereby the jurisdiction of the Admiralty is extended as aforesaid,
and of the other late Acts for the restriction of American Commerce. Simply by suggesting that Parliament had overstepped its implied
boundaries, the colonists were considered to be boldly defiant. The Resolutions were sent to the king and Parliament, where they were met as
warmly as the Stamp Act itself was in the colonies. Many Englishmen held their own opinions of these, including Soame Jenyns, a member of
Parliament from 1741–1780. Jenyns wrote a pamphlet entitled The Objections to the Taxation
