The Stamp Act of 1765 provoked stronger colonial response than did the Sugar Act or the Quartering Act. Which of the following was NOT a reason for this opposition?
 
  A) The Stamp Act applied to goods used by merchants and lawyers, thus stirring an educated and powerful opposition.
  B) The act had been passed by the King over the British Parliament veto, thus violating the British constitution.
  C) There was a long delay between the passage of legislation and its effective date, thus enabling the colonists to organize their protest.
  D) The proceeds of the tax were meant to pay the salaries of colonial officials, something the colonists themselves had done in the past.
  E) The Stamp Act was a direct tax on the colonists and seemed to indicate that Parliament was limiting colonists' liberties.
