6. why did the colonists react so much more strongly to the stamp act than to the sugar act? how did the principles that the stamp act raised continue to provide points of contention between colonists and the british government?

The Stamp Act was notable—not to say, notorious—for being the first internal tax levied directly on the American colonists by the British government. The Act imposed a tax on all printed matter including books, newspapers, and legal documents. The British had incurred substantial debts in their prosecution of the Seven Years' War and the Stamp Act was designed as a measure to help pay some of them back. But the new legislation provoked huge controversy.
