Declaratory Act 1765

Event: The act imposed that all paper documents would have to be bought with stamps which is equal to revenue and taxes. The act was placed on 1765 and later repealed in 1766 but at that time the english parliament also issued a declaratory act to reaffirm authority because the colonists argued that only their representatives could issue taxes. Purpose: Since the thirteen colonies were deep in debt due to the seven year war they needed a way to get money to pay off the debt so Prime Minister George Grenville who thought that the colonists didn’t get taxed enough gave the idea of taxing the colonists for paper.

Effects:
There were a lot of things happening and this was where the acts started so there were people who protested
against tax collectors and in Connecticut a tax collector was buried and in other colonies houses of tax collector were attacked.
