The Navigation Acts: It was designed by King Charles II, to make the colonies and the parent country (England), dependent on each other, without any foreign interference.
The Revenue Act of 1764: This new law, was designed by George Grenville, King George III's chief minister. This law allowed the colonies to pay low prices for sugar from foreign countries, so the government (England) could get the revenue from the tax (money from the French and the Dutch).
The Stamp Act of 1765: In 1765, Grenville searched for even more revenue for the English Empire. In addition to customs duties, he suggested an excise tax, a levy on various good and services produced within the colonies. The tax would be paid by purchasing a stamp that was then placed on the article. His act would require stamps on newspapers, legal documents, playing cards, ship's papers, and the like.
The Declaratory Act of 1766: This law was in response to the American uproar of the Stamp Act. Parliament repealed the Stamp Act in the spring of 1766. But, to save face it passed the Declaratory Act, which declared that Parliament had full power to pass laws and levy taxes for America "in all cases whatsoever."
The Townshend Taxes of 1767: George Grenville resigned. The new finance minister, Charles Townshend, then suggest a new plan. He asked Parliament to levy customs duties on various colonial imports - paint, tea, paper, lead, and glass. The Townshend taxes were repealed by Parliament in 1770. However, the tax on tea remained, as a symbol of England's authority over the American Colonies, and all who lived there.
The Intolerable Acts: After the famous "Boston Tea Party," England would push the American Colonists too far. One of the acts closed the port of Boston until the city paid for the tea. A second act revoked the charter of Massachusetts, suspending the colony's civil government and placing it under military rule. A third measure was the Quartering Act, which forced colonists to provide food an housing for the soldiers who ruled over them. A fourth act permitted British officials who injured people while enforcing the law to return to Britain for their court hearings.
