Question

Identify and describe TWO of these laws. Explain how they specifically impacted the colonists in that involved the mid-1700s in Great Britain

Answer 1

Answer:

Two of these laws are the Sugar Act and the Tea Act. The Sugar Act (1764) was a tax passed by the British to pay for the Seven Years War, called the French and Indian War in America. It taxed sugar and decreased taxes on molasses in British colonies in America and the West Indies. The British Parliament passed the Tea Act in May 1773. It reinforced a tea tax in the American colonies. The act also allowed the British East India Company to have a monopoly on the tea trade there. This meant that the American colonists were not allowed to buy tea from any other source.
