What did lord greenville pass in 1765?

In 1765, Lord Greenville, as Prime Minister of Great Britain, passed the Stamp Act. This legislation required colonists to purchase special stamped paper for legal documents, newspapers, and other publications, imposing a direct tax on the American colonies. The Act sparked significant resistance and protests, as many colonists argued that it violated their rights since they had no representation in the British Parliament. The backlash ultimately contributed to rising tensions that led to the American Revolution.
