NOTR - The Stamp Act - 9.29.16

Today's Show: THE STAMP ACT

Chris discusses the history of the Stamp Act and its impact on the early colonies leading up to the American Revolution.  The British Parliament placed a tax on not just stamps, but "every piece of printed paper" that they used.  The act was seen as a clear violation of the boundaries of Parliament's authority, who had been forbidden from making laws to govern the colonies.  Some of the political debates from this era seem to strike a cord with events happening in our country even today, as the role of the federal government and the courts is the subject of much controversy.
