The Stamp act was unfair to the colonist because the colonist were being taxed by Parliament without any saying in the taxation. Ergo, "No taxation without Representation!" the colonist just wanted to be represented. Also because it was the Britishs' fault for being in debt because of the french and Indian war. not the colonists'
