Answer 1

Answer:

A. Townshend acts

Explanation:

The Townshend Acts of 1767 included a lot of taxes, taxing essentials such as paint, paper, glass, lead and tea.The British government felt the taxes were fair since much of its debt was earned fighting wars on the colonists’ behalf.  The colonists, however, disagreed. They were furious at being taxed without having any representation in Parliament, and felt it was wrong for Britain to impose taxes on them to gain revenue.
