Question

Which of the following included duties on imports such as tea, lead, glass, and paper? A. Stamp Act B. Townshend Acts C. Intolerable Acts D. Tea Act

Answer 1

Townshend Acts because the Townshend Acts placed an indirect tax on glass, lead, paints, paper, and tea. These goods were not produced within the colonies and had to be imported from Britain.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. Townshend Acts

Explanation:

The Townshend Acts were a set of five acts approved by the Britsh Parliament in 1767 and 1768, all of these acts applied to the American colonies and aimed at increasing taxes, enforcing restrictions and strengthening the power the Great Britan had over the colonies. One of the most important effects were the duties and taxes on imports that included multiple products such as tea, glass, paper, and lead that were brought from England. Additionally, due to the restrictions and taxes, all of the acts of the Townshend Acts were strongly opposed by the colonist and increased the conflict between the colonies and Great Britain. Thus, it was the Townshend Acts the ones that included duties on tea, lead, paper, etc.
