The Stamp Act caused Americans to protest and refuse to buy or import British goods.

This scandal served as a precursor to America 's overwhelming distrust of the government. Suspected of orchestrating a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C., President Nixon’s administration attempted to cover up any signs of their involvement.

If money were to not be cut from other programs, the national debt would drastically increase or taxes would skyrocket.
