Answer:

The Townshend Acts of 1767-1768 placed taxes on items such as glass, lead, paint, paper, and tea. One of the Townshend Acts allowed general search warrants. British offi ials used these to combat smuggling— illegally moving goods in or out of a country. Then, Parliament passed the Tea Act. " This measure was not a tax. In fact, it allowed a British company that grew tea in India to import its tea into the colonies without paying the existing tea tax. This made the British company’s tea cheaper than other tea sold in the colonies. Still, Parliament’s control of taxes angered the colonists."

The colonists were not at all happy with this, and resulted in the Boston Tea Party, which involved throwing hundreds of thousands of barrels of tea overboard British ships [while dressed as Native Indians], resulting in punishment from Parliament, the Intolerable Acts, also known as the Coercive Acts.

Which geographic feature most directly

Nata [24]

The geographic feature that most directly influenced the development of Greek city-states was 2. its mountainous terrain. Greece is a series of island separated by sea and marked with numerous mountains. These mountains kept the region from ever becoming completely unified in ancient times because of the difficulty it took to get from point A to point B. Instead, these mountains resulted in the formation of city-states, smaller political units centered around a single city but sharing a culture similar to other city-states in the area. They were connected by culture rather than politics.
