The Parliament of Great Britain was seemingly unrelenting in the mid-18th century when it came to establishing unpopular policies in the years leading up to the American Revolution. For years the American colonists had been taxed by Parliament without their consent. Perhaps the tensions between the American colonies and Great Britain could have been avoided, to some degree, had the American colonists received equal representation under English law.

Nevertheless, this “taxation without representation” would lead to widespread unrest in the American colonies and would become one of the main causes of the American Revolution. The Stamp Act was the first direct tax levied upon the colonies, requiring a stamp to be placed on paper goods such as newspapers, legal documents, bills of sale, and diplomas.

This was followed by the Declaratory Act which ended the unofficial policy and “Salutary Neglect” and reasserted Parliament’s political dominance in the American colonies. The Townsend Acts and Tea Act would follow.
