Answer 1

Answer:Stamp Act

Explanation:Parliament's first direct tax on the American Colonies(AC), this act, like those passed in 1764(1 or the year before 1765), was enacted to raise money for Britain. It taxed newspapers, almanacs, pamphlets, broadsides, legal documents(not illegal ok), dice, and playing cards. I hope this helped! :)
