The Townshend Acts, passed by the British Parliament in 1767, imposed duties on various goods imported to the American colonies, including tea, glass, paper, and lead. The revenue generated was intended to pay colonial governors and judges, thereby reducing colonial legislative power. These acts also reinforced the British military presence in the colonies, leading to widespread resentment and protests among colonists, ultimately contributing to the American Revolution. The imposition of these taxes without colonial representation sparked significant opposition, famously leading to events such as the Boston Tea Party.
