Hvordan påvirkede stempel loven priserne på varer?
Stamp Act 1765
Stamp Act tillod admiralitetsdomstole at have kompetence til at dømme overtrædere efter det eksempel, der blev etableret med Sugar Act. Admiralitetsdomstole havde dog traditionelt været begrænset til sager, der vedrørte det åbne hav. Sukkerloven syntes at falde inden for denne præcedens, men det gjorde stempelloven ikke, og kolonisterne så dette som endnu et forsøg på at erstatte deres lokale domstole med domstole, der var kontrolleret af England.
Stamp Act 1765
The Stamp Act allowed admiralty courts to have jurisdiction for trying violators, following the example established by the Sugar Act. However, admiralty courts had traditionally been limited to cases involving the high seas. The Sugar Act seemed to fall within this precedent, but the Stamp Act did not, and the colonists saw this as a further attempt to replace their local courts with courts controlled by England.
