- Title
Constitutional Conflict as the Basis for American Revolution.
- Authors

- Abstract
Presented work deals with the issue of unconstitutionality of the Stamp Act, issued by British Parliament in the 1765. Authors analyse the primary sources (obtained from the Yale University database of Avalon project) in context with literature related to the issue (in minor extent Czech and primarily English). Because of the extent of the issue, only one particular colony of the Thirteen was chosen - the colony of Connecticut. The work tries to argue, that there was no formal imperfection of the Act, and so it had to be repealed not because of legal reasons, but because of the reasons presented by a public opinion.
