Explanation:

In U.S. colonial history, the Sugar Act, also known as the Plantation Act or Tax Act, (1764), the British legislation aimed at ending the smuggling of sugar and molasses from the French and Dutch West Indies and having increased taxes during the French and Indian War to finance expanded British Empire obligations. In fact, the Sugar Act called for strict customs regulation of duty on refined sugar and molasses imported from non-British Caribbean suppliers into the colonies, a reinvigoration of the previously unsuccessful Molasses Act of 1733. The 1764 Revenue Act, also known as the Sugar Act, was the first levy levied by the British Parliament on the American colonies. Its goal was to increase revenue from the colonial customs service and to grant more authority and latitude to customs officers with regard to the execution of seizures and customs law enforcement.
