The Townshend Acts were a series of laws that the British passed on the colonies in 1767. These acts were the subject of controversy in the colonies due to the fact that it took away some of the colonists' liberties.

The Acts were not well-received by the colonists. They disliked the fact that they had no representation in Parliament. They thought it was unjust for the British to pass laws without allowing them to participate in the process. Therefore, they responded with some unrest. Many merchants organized boycotts of British goods, while some others violently protested.
