Sugar & stamp Act

American independence from Britain was more than one cause. However, one of the main reasons against the system of taxation, the British their American subjects was imposed. Two tax laws, sugar and stamp, pioneer of these laws the opposition to American settlers. BackgroundThe British Parliament had two main reasons that pass the sugar and the stamp Act. First France was hired the debt the British to seven years (1756-1763) during and after their victory in the war. Secondly, the British decision of 10,000 was soldiers station in the American colonies. This army costs money and taking into account their debt had the British, find new ways to increase that that legislation provisions related ActThe sugar turnover of foreign trade the revenue.Sugar and increase the application of the law. Adopted in 1764, taxed Act of several elements, including molasses, imported wood sawing and sugar, the settlements from foreign ports. This law replaced the molasses in 1733 had imposed the molasses, but requires a small tax on molasses in the hope that more ready tax instead the settlers of evading authorities act would be payable. It was also found that the infringements against the file would sugar be assessed Vice Admiralty Court instead of local colonial courts.Stamp ActThe stamp Act goes further than the sugar Act it taxed activities occurred only in the American colonies. Adopted in 1765, taxable persons act all documents of the Court of Justice and attorneys licenses. These legal documents would be considered null and void without paying a fee. If a person to a lawyer in the colony of New York, for example, he Deva willes numbers required tax for the new YoRK-law license, to meet all other requirements. Otherwise, it may practice law in the colony.ConstitutionalityQuestions step soon emerged the constitutionality of laws. The principle had the British constitution founded no taxation without representation. Many settlers claimed that you could be taxed without the consent of their elected officials. Appeal argues that American settlers were not the English in the UK, different, who could vote for members of Parliament because you met the requirements of the property. The settlers has to say they had representatives in the colonial legislature and therefore tax approval sought, must for these people, not only sugar Parliament.EffectsThe and widespread opposition ignited in the American colonies is stamp laws. Demonstrations broke in at least nine settlements and reaction of organisations such as the son of freedom and the stamp Act Congress were made to resist acts. Although the Parliament soon two acts repealed they served basis resistance organised British rule which would lead to the American Revolution.
