The Stamp Act was designed for the colonists to repay the British for the cost of the French and Indian War.

Explanation:

Britain emerged victorious in the Seven Years' War, also known as the French and Indian War, which lasted from 1756 to 1763. At the end of the war, Britain was largely indebted. The debt continued to increase because the British government had to maintain a large troop in the American colonies. The political class in London came up with the idea that Americans had to bear the cost of their own defense. The Stamp Law had been effective in Britain since 1694. Increasing the tax in Britain was not ideal because taxes were already high. In 1764, the British parliament made public the American colonies that were considering passing the Doorbell Law. The news was largely rejected by the Americans. However, the Doorbell Law was passed on March 22, 1765.
