To find the legislation that justified Britain's taxing American colonists to pay for its war debt, we can look at the options provided and consider the historical context.
The Proclamation of 1763 did not directly involve taxing the American colonists; it focused on restricting colonial expansion into Native American lands.
The Stamp Act of 1765, on the other hand, directly imposed taxes on various printed materials in the colonies, such as newspapers, legal documents, and playing cards. This act was enacted by the British Parliament specifically to generate revenue and help pay off the war debt incurred during the French and Indian War.
Therefore, the correct answer is the Stamp Act of 1765.
