I am assuming you mean the Sugar Act. American importers were not paying the excessively high duty that had been placed on Sugar (molasses) by the Molasses Act of 1733. They found it cheaper to pay bribes of a penny or so per gallon, to the customs collectors. When George Grenville became Prime Minister, he had Parliament overhaul the old act with a new Sugar Act, 1764. The new act lowered the tax on sugar entering the colonies, but it also created a new system for enforcing the act, making sure that the lowered duties would be collected. In New England, where molasses was a major trade item used in making various drinks as well as a sweetener, there was immediate concern. A Boston town meeting declared that the city would boycott (not purchase) all British imports to that colony. Other New England cities, including New York, followed Boston’s lead. American Colonists granted Parliament the right to regulate trade but the colonists declared that the Sugar Act was an attempt to raise money in the colonies, something that colonists believed only colonial legislatures could do. They pointed to the official title of the Sugar Act--The American Revenue Act of 1764. Hence, the Americans, for perhaps the first time, raised the cry that they could not be taxed by a political body that did not represent them. They elected representatives to their assemblies, but not to Parliament. The cry, “No taxation without representation” would become a rallying cry for those favoring independence. In 1766, the British government reduced the duty on sugar to one penny (what had been the “traditional” bribe), and protest in New England began to subside.

Does sugar dissolve differently in different liquids?
Yes, it depends how much sugar is in the liquid to begin with, the more sugar in the liquid to begin with, the slower the dissolving rate. This is because there is only so much space between the liquid particles for the sugar to go in.

There; that's a start ... anyone else?
What is sorting in C language?
Quicksort in any programming language is an algorithm for sorting data sequences. It is typically implemented as follows (example demonstrates a quicksort of an array of type int). Note that a half-open range, [begin:end), includes the one-past-the-end of the range and is the conventional means of defining a range of contiguous array values. When begin==end, the range is deemed empty. // forward declarations void qsort (int* unsigned); // this is the function you will actually invoke void qsort_rec (int*, int*); // recursive function int* partition (int*, int*); // utility functions... int* select_pivot (int*, int*); void swap (int*, int*); int count (int*, int*); // sort a data sequence of length size void qsort (int* data, unsigned size) { qsort_rec (data, data + size); } // recursively sort the half-open range [begin:end) void qsort_rec (int* begin, int* end) { if (count (begin, end) < 2) return; // end point of recursion int* pivot = partition (begin, end); qsort_rec (begin, pivot); qsort_rec (++pivot, end); } // divide the half-open range [begin:end) into two around a pivot value int* partition (int* begin, int* end) { if (count (begin, end) < 2) return begin; int* pivot = select_pivot (begin, end); swap (begin, pivot); --end; while (begin != end) { while (*(begin) <= *pivot && begin != end) ++begin; while (*pivot < *(end) && begin != end) --end; if (begin!=end) swap (begin, end); } assert (begin==end); // sanity check! swap (pivot, begin); return begin; } // select the median of three from a half-open range [begin:end) int* select_pivot (int* begin, int* end) { int* mid = begin + (count (begin, end) / 2); if (*end<*begin) swap (begin, end); if (*mid<*begin) swap (begin, mid); if (*end<*mid) swap (mid, end); return end; } // swap the values referred to by p and q void swap (int* p, int* q) { if (!p !q) return; // sanity check! int t = *p; *p = *q; *q = t; } // count the elements in the half-closed range [begin:end) int count (int* begin, int* end) { int cnt = 0; int add; if (begin>end) { // swap pointers if the range is reversed int* t = begin; begin = end; end = t; add = -1; // count will be negative } else { add = 1; // count will be positive } while (begin++!=end) cnt+=add; return cnt; }
