What is in 1765 rule that made commas pay taxes on all paper material?

The 1765 Stamp Act was a law passed by the British Parliament that required colonists to pay a tax on a wide range of paper goods, including newspapers, legal documents, and playing cards. This act aimed to help cover the costs of British troops stationed in North America after the French and Indian War. The requirement to stamp these paper items as proof of tax payment led to widespread protests and was a significant factor in the growing discontent that eventually contributed to the American Revolution. The act was repealed in 1766 due to the backlash from the colonists.
