Answer:

The main purpose of the Sugar Act of 1764 was to raise taxes on sugar.

Explanation:

The Sugar Act was sanctioned on April 5, 1764 by the English Parliament. This law replaced the Molasses Act by halving the taxes levied on molasses, but by imposing new additional taxes on sugar, and aimed at an end to smuggling and to protect English farmers based in the West Indies and for the government to win more money on sugar, which was indispensable at this time. It taxed the sugar that entered the United States of America and was not bought from the English Antilles.

The aim of the sugar law was to encourage settlers to consume only sugar directly from the English. It raised the taxes that settlers had to pay on molasses, wine, coffee, silk, white clothes, luxury goods, and linen in their ports.

How were monks and friars different
pochemuha
The main difference is that a monk remains within his community while the friar has a public ministry. Generally speaking, once a monk enters the cloistered life, he does not leave. Friars are often given assignments in the world although they do have a communal life. This is why friars such as the Franciscans and Dominicans were very active in the evangelization of the New World while monks like the Benedictines established monasteries much later.
