This act was to raise money so custom agents could have more power. In response, the colonists boycotted luxury goods so that the sugar act would be repealed. Which did happen in 1766 but was replaces with the Revenue Act in the same year. -
This would stop the creation of any new currency bills and reissuing any existing bills. This caused the colonists to always be short on money. In response they protested, this act created the "No Taxation without Representation" saying. I unfortunately can't find anything about when this act ended but I'm assuming in about a year or so they repealed the act. -
This act required colonists to house British soldiers in the barracks. The colonists didn't like this mostly for the reason that they were having to pay taxes for provisions for said soldiers. With the colonists now refusing to comply to act, the act expired March 24, 1767. -
The stamp act required that any printed document had a royal stamp on it. This act had the biggest reaction out of all the acts. From riots, to protests, to boycotts, to the destruction of officials homes, etc. There was no tolerance for this act. There was so much of a riot that it only lasted less than two weeks, with the act being repealed on October 25, 1765. -
This act increased tax on items such as lead, glass, paper, paint, and tea. The reaction of the colonists consisted of more riots and protests. They decided not to import British goods so they wouldn't have to pay any unneeded money. In response, England repealed the act in April of 1770.
