Talk:Declaration of Rights and Grievances

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The stamp tax was never actually put into place in the colonies. It was passed by Parliament in February 1765 and scheduled to be active November 1, 1765, but because of the protest, tax collectors and colonial bureaucrats ignored it come November. Thus, the act did not "cause" documents to be printed on taxed paper, because that did not happen. There was only one Parliament in London at this time (removed the plural "parliaments"). Removed note about "citations" because nothing was cited.--RedJ 17 (talk) 20:40, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
