Hur påverkade the stamp act priserna på varor?
Stamp Act 1765
Stamp Act gav amiralitetsdomstolar behörighet att pröva överträdelser, enligt det exempel som sockerlagen gav. Admiralitetsdomstolar hade dock traditionellt sett varit begränsade till fall som rörde det fria havet. Sugar Act tycktes falla inom detta prejudikat, men det gjorde inte Stamp Act, och kolonisterna såg detta som ytterligare ett försök att ersätta deras lokala domstolar med domstolar som kontrollerades av 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.
