∙ 9y agoSince it had been argued by colonists that the Stamp Act was unacceptable because it was a direct tax, Parliament reasoned an indirect tax would be accepted. As a result after repealing the Stamp Act, they imposed the Townshend Acts which taxed items such as tea, lead, paint and paper. The colonists were outraged at this tax as well and considered Britain's attempt to put taxes on them, while not affording them Parliamentary representation was tantamount to subjugation.

∙ 11y agoThe Townshend Acts were passed as a result of the Seven Years' War that occurred between 1756 and 1763 (that's not 7 years, but they call it that anyway.)
Britain was in serious debt, and as usual when a nation is in debt during or after wartime, they had to tax someone. So, they taxed the British colonies.
