The first act that the Parliament passed in an attempt to raise revenue by taxing the American colonists was The Sugar Act. The Sugar Act increased the duties on sugar imported from the West Indie.  

 

EXPLANATION  

The American Revenue Act 1764 or also called the Sugar Act is a law used to close the smuggling of sugar and sugar cane drops in the colonies by reducing tax rates and orders to increase duties on sugar imported from West Indie. Besides, several commodities such as leather, hides, and potassium are added to the list of products that can be legally exported under the Navigation Law. This was introduced by the Prime Minister of England, George Grenville.

Overall, the important points of this law are three:  

1. First, the UK is aware that illegal trade has damaged existing law enforcement so the law needs to be strengthened.  

2. Second, protect UK trade by setting new trade limits in accordance with the Navigation Law.  

3. Three, the Indian and French Wars have sacrificed British finances, so Americans must pay taxes for their own protection.
