Question

WHY WAS THE STAMP ACT REASONABLE

Answer 1

Answer:

The tax on stamps was rather low and considered quite reasonable by the British. ... While other taxes and duties on land or imports would directly affect only a portion of the citizens, anyone who planned to marry, own land, or even buy a newspaper or some playing cards was affected by the act.

Explanation:

The Stamp Act of 1765 was a tax to help the British pay for the French and Indian War. The British felt they were well justified in charging this tax because the colonies were receiving the benefit of the British troops and needed to help pay for the expense.
