Question

The colonist Protested the stamp act by

Answer 1

The Stamp Act of 1765 was protested because it was a tax imposed on them by the British Parliament. They believed it was unjust to be taxed without their consent by unelected rulers. This Act was protested by burning the stamps and refusing to distribute them, sending petitions to England (which were ignored) and the magistrate's home was ransacked and destroyed.
