The issues of the Stamp Act can be considered very controversial. Many people believed different things and had different reasons for their beliefs. Some people thought the Stamp Act was a terrible idea because they would be charged more on basically everything that had a stamp on it. Most of the people that didn't agree with it were the people that had to pay the taxes, but those who weren't charged with the taxes didn't really care about the Stamp Act.
Personally, I think the Stamp Act was a good idea. It would help pay off some of the debt that the colonies had built up over the years. Because the Stamp Act applied to many of the things that people use on a regular basis, the debt would be paid off quickly because a lot of money would be coming in fast resulting in less debt owed to England. The Stamp Act should have made the colonists happy because it would lead to them not being financially bonded to England after a while, meaning they would be closer to their freedom from the mainland. The colonists shouldn't have been so against the idea of taxes because in the end they really benefited from them.
