The correct answer is B) the Stamp Act.

This 1765 revenue law of the British parliament succeeded in angering the American colonists, not because it taxed most documents but because the colonists had no voice in its passage. We are talking about the Stamp Act.

American colonists were already angered for the many attitudes the British monarchy had with the 13 American colonies. But the Stamp Act taxed all kinds of documents such as newspapers, contracts, seals, everything. The English government had high debts due to the Seven Year War and was desperately trying to find ways to get money. This Act infuriated the colonists because they had to pay taxes to the British government but they didn't have a voice or representation in the English Parliament.
