24. Why We Need a Stamp to Send A Post?
NO IDEA

25. Originally postage had to be paid to the postman on delivery, which
obviously became quite a hassle ( Disturbance ). The only viable
alternative is/was to have postage prepaid by the sender, and
stamps became the easiest way of proof that postage had been
paid.
We use stamps is to show you paid for your letter to be delivered in
any country in the world.
