STAMPED ACT

-Dirext tax: tax paid directly to the government. _An indirect tax is a tax paid to an intermediary which will shift the tax later to the government.

Activity 1: -I think it affected the rich more since at moment the rich used paper more than the poors especially for their documents, ship papers and licenses. -Stamp act raised concerns among the colonists about great Britain's right to tax them: the way that the british applied the stamp act, the way they put the tax on every sheet of paper, every document... these led the colonists to see that Great Britain wanted to collect money without their permission.

i think the stamp act is a direct tax because the british officials collect it directly for the metropole.

Activity 2:



Activity 3: -the colonists were really angry about the stamp act because it was an attempt against their freedom. -They will react by waves of protests, mobs to intimidate the british officials.

my predictions were wrong because i thought it they would use violence to intimidate the British officials



- boston in the 1765 is the town that was leading the claiming against the stamp act... first, the merchants then a larger crowd. next, the officials would join. and then the men who had helped focus mob action on political targets were quick to distance themselves from the riot.
