The correct option is C. Delegates petitioned against the Stamp Act that happened at the Stamp Act Congress of 1765. The Stamp Act levied a direct tax on the colonists as opposed to imposing a charge on commerce goods. The statute specifically mandated that starting in the fall of 1765, all legal documents and printed materials must have a tax stamp given by commissioned distributors who would collect the tax in exchange for the stamp.
What was the outcome of the Stamp Act?
On March 22, 1765, the British Parliament approved the Stamp Act. All American colonists were subject to the new tax, which demanded payment for each piece of printed paper consumed. Newspapers, other publications, legal papers, licenses, ship's papers, and even playing cards were subject to taxes.
The Stamp Act Congress adopted a "Declaration of Rights and Grievances" that asserted that American colonists were on an equal footing with all other British citizens, denounced taxation without representation, and claimed that Parliament could not impose taxes on colonists in the absence of colonial representation in Parliament.
