- In 1765, Britain passes the Stamp Act, placing taxes on all paper goods, including newspaper.
- The colonists felt the Stamp Act violated their rights as British citizens. They believed only their elected representatives could impose taxes. The act was seen as unjust because they had no representation in the British Parliament, which passed the act.
