In 1767 Charles Townsend proposed a series of taxes known as the Townsend Acts. These taxes were different from the Stamp Act because they were?

the Townsend Acts were indirect taxes imposed on imported goods, such as tea, glass, and paper, rather than direct taxes on individual items like the Stamp Act.
