the Stamp Act

/ðə ˈstæmp ækt/

a British Act of Parliament in 1765. It stated that all publications and legal documents in British colonies (= parts of the empire) in America must have official stamps, sold by the British government. Many people in America thought that this was an unfair tax. They refused to use the stamps and prevented British ships from entering or leaving their ports. The Stamp Act was removed in 1766 but the tax, and the people's protests against it, are among the important events that led to the American Revolution.邮票法：1765年的英国议会法。它规定，在美国的英国殖民地（帝国的一部分）中，所有出版物和法律文件都必须有由英国政府出售的官方邮票。美国许多人认为这是不公平的税收。他们拒绝使用邮票，并阻止英国船只进入或离开港口。《印花税法》于1766年被废除，但税收以及民众对此的抗议是导致美国革命的重要事件之一。
