∙ 13y agoThe result of the passage of the Townsend Acts was a colonial boycott against British products. Trade between England and America fell off by 50 percent as a result of the boycott. The British merchants complained to Parliament who repealed the Townshend Duties except the tax on tea. The tea tax was kept in honor of the Declaratory Act. Parliament passed that act to declare that they did have the right to tax the colonies regardless of the American claim of internal or external taxation. The colonists would claim that the Declaratory Act was unconstitutional because the colonies did not have representation in Parliament. Great Britain claimed the colonies were represented "virtually," as Parliament represented all areas of the British Empire, regardless of whether or not a colony elected a representative to that legislative body. Thus, the debate over whether the colonies did have representation in Parliament would not be settled until the Revolution.
