The purpose of the tax was to pay for British military troops stationed in the American colonies after the French and Indian War, but the colonists had never feared a French invasion to begin with, and they contended that they had already paid their share of the war expenses. The Stamp Act was very unpopular among colonists. A majority considered it a violation of their rights as Englishmen to be taxed without their consent—consent that only the colonial legislatures could grant.

What is ironic about fortinbras becoming the new head of government?

Hitman42 [59]

Fortinbras can be considered as the antithesis of Hamlet. While the former is careful with the decisions he makes and actions he takes, Fortinbras is impulsive and highly determined to avenge the death of his father by any means possible.

There is irony in the unfoldment of events in the story because Fortinbras had been preparing himself for an eventual engagement in combat in order to avenge his father. However, this never really happened as he finds the throne vacant. On the other hand, Hamlet was initially reluctant of pursuing the throne but ultimately decides to avenge his father's death and claim the throne but dies in combat.
