What tax taxed colonists on everday things?

The Stamp Act of 1765 was a significant tax that affected colonists by imposing a direct tax on everyday items, requiring them to purchase special stamped paper for legal documents, newspapers, and other printed materials. This tax was deeply unpopular and fueled resentment towards British rule, as it was seen as a violation of their rights since they had no representation in Parliament. Additionally, the Townshend Acts of 1767 taxed imports like tea, glass, and paper, further aggravating the colonists and contributing to the growing desire for independence.
