The Stamp Act of 1765 was the first internal tax levied directly on American colonists by the British government. The act, which imposed a tax on all paper documents in the colonies, came at a time when the British Empire was deep in debt from the Seven Years’ War (1756-63) and looking to its North American colonies as a revenue source. Arguing that only their own representative assemblies could tax them, the colonists insisted that the act was unconstitutional, and they resorted to mob violence to intimidate stamp collectors into resigning. Parliament repealed the Stamp Act in 1766, but issued a Declaratory Act at the same time to reaffirm its authority to pass any colonial legislation it saw fit. The issues of taxation and representation raised by the Stamp Act strained relations with the colonies to the point that, 10 years later, the colonists rose in armed rebellion against the British. <span> </span> <span> </span>

What compromise was made at the constitutional Convention so that Congress to get the power to control foreign trade
AleksandrR [38]

The compromise that was made at the constitutional Convention so that Congress could get the power to control foreign trade was that Congress could not tax exports. What exports means is to send products or goods to another country, while imports means getting goods from other countries. The reason why that would be your answer is because to send things over seas to foreign countries, it would cost a lot, and if they were to tax it, it would be very expensive to export things. Because of the compromise, Congress doesn't have to tax products or things when exporting them to foreign countries, which saved them A LOT of money. Because of not taxing exports, they gained so much power exporting things.
