Stamp Act Tax Discussion[edit]

The stamp tax was never actually put into place in the colonies. It was passed by Parliament in February 1765 and scheduled to be active November 1, 1765, but because of the protest, tax collectors and colonial bureaucrats ignored it come November. Thus, the act did not "cause" documents to be printed on taxed paper, because that did not happen. There was only one Parliament in London at this time (removed the plural "parliaments"). Removed note about "citations" because nothing was cited.--RedJ 17 (talk) 20:40, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with your other points, but the reference shouldn't have been removed even if there weren't actual footnotes generated. It was still used as a source for the article. 68.171.235.139 (talk) 17:18, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Discussion[edit]

I have suggested that this article be merged with Declaration and Resolves of the First Continental Congress. --BCG999 Out. (talk) 21:52, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why? These are two documents created by different sets of people nearly a decade apart. Each article could be merged to another article (the Stamp Act and the First Continental Congress), but not with each other. —Kevin Myers 05:22, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Document authorship?[edit]

This page as well as Declaration and Resolves of the First Continental Congress should probably include the document's main authors, anyone have this info? I know John Dickinson has been credited but not cited here. 'hanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:26, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
