THE STAMP ACT Il s'agit de l'impôt britannique auquel furent soumises les colonies américaines à partir de 1765. Portant sur un certain nombre de publications, dont les actes juridiques et les journaux, il doit son nom au timbre justifiant de son acquittement. Premier impôt direct levé par la Couronne, il souleva une violente opposition chez les colons, qui obtinrent sa suppression un an plus tard.
