The answer is: That it is not the amount of tax that is the problem but rather the fact that the colonists were not involved in passing the tax

After the colonists realize that they were not involved in passing the stamp tax, they fully aware that The British Government had no regard to their interest. The stamp act would massively cut down the colonists' income since the majority of their activities relied on paper.

This lead to the colonial outrage toward the stamp act. The overwhelming opposition given by the colonists lead to its repeal 1 year after it's implemented.

Explanation

La democracia participativa es una forma de democracia en la que los ciudadanos tienen mayor participación en la toma de las decisiones políticas que la que les otorga tradicionalmente la democracia representativa. La democracia participativa permite una participación ciudadana mayor que en democracia representativa pero menor que en la llamada democracia directa y equivalente en muchos de sus mecanismos a la democracia semidirecta.

Sus antecedentes ideológicos hacen «una distinción entre el individualismo –al estilo de Rousseau– y la dignidad de la persona humana. Como individuo, el ser humano no es más que un fragmento de la sociedad, pero como persona investida de su dignidad y derechos, es depositario de los intereses y aspiraciones de la sociedad en pleno.»1​ Este concepto lo desarrolló ampliamente Jacques Maritain en dos de sus obras: Humanismo Integral y El Hombre y el Estado. Además, Sir Arthur Lewis, laureado con el Premio Nobel, señaló que todos aquellos afectados por una decisión deben tener la oportunidad de participar en el proceso de tomar esa decisión, ya sea en forma directa o mediante representantes electos.2​

Su mecanismo puede definirse con mayor precisión como un modelo político que facilita a la ciudadanía su capacidad de asociarse y organizarse de tal modo que puedan ejercer una influencia directa en las decisiones públicas. En la actualidad se manifiesta usualmente por medio de una diversidad de procedimientos, como presupuestos participativos, consejos vecinales o comunales o consultas populares.3​ En una etapa más avanzada, el proyecto fundamental de la democracia participativa es la creación de un mecanismo de deliberaciones mediante el cual el pueblo, con su propia participación, esté habilitado para manifestarse por igual con puntos de vista tanto mayoritarios como minoritarios. Sin negar que todo sistema democrático eventualmente ha de descansar en decisiones mayoritarias, los mecanismos o instituciones de participación tienen el propósito de hacer hincapié en el pleno respeto a las minorías, sus opiniones y su amplia manifestación a través de un mecanismo participativo e institucionalizado
