Tax on all printed goods Affected lawyers and sailors Why is this a problem? English view- 1st tax where $ went to England to HELP pay debt for French/Indian War American view-“No taxation without representation”- idea people can only be taxed if they can vote on the tax right to tax=to right to take property Property=liberty Did the colonists have a right to be so upset?
