A. The opportunity to establish the US as a Military power :)
A) It raised the price of many items.
The Stamp Act placed a tax on printed materials.
We pay taxes to fund a variety of federal, states, and local services. Half of Americans taxes burden is for federal programs. Most of this pays for social security, Medicare, and defense states and local taxes pay for Medicaid, infrastructure, and libraries.
Hope this helped, so long sorry:)
