Answer 2

Answer:

A) A Stamp Act tax

Explanation:

According to the Stamp Act tax of 1765 (Duties in American Colonies Act 1765; 5 George III, c. 12), all the printed materials should be followed by this authorized stamp. After the Seven Year War, England increases control over the colonies. The main reason for this ordinance was to pay the stationary troops on the colonies to protect them against a probable French invasion. Even so, this Act was very unpopular among the population.
