The Molasses Act of 1733 imposed a tax of 6 pence for every gallon of molasses, 9 pence for every gallon of rum, and 5 shillings for every hundred weight avoirdupois of sugar (avoirdupois is a unit of weight). American colonists ignored this act via smuggling, and so it was repealed
The Sugar Act of 1734 replaced the Molasses Act. The Sugar Act, also known as
The American Revenue Act of 1764, lowered taxes, expanded things to tax, and enforced it better.
