The act that required colonists to pay for their soldiers that had been sent to maintain order was the "Quartering Acts". Each of the Quartering Acts was an amendment to the "Mutiny Act". The first was the 1765 Act and then came the Act of 1774, known as one of the "Coercive Acts" in England and as "Intolerable Acts" in America.
