After the seven years' war, the British decided that the colonists should pay for the war debt and the army cost because the British were defending the Americans.

The British Constitution guaranteed that British subjects should not be taxed without their consent. So this tax was a violation of the Constitutiuon. The colonists rebelled and declared - 'no taxation without representation'. The colonists rebelled with force and the Act could not be imposed and was repealed 17th March 1766
Why were bostonians angry with British in their town?
The Bostinians were angry with the British troops in their town because the British were taxing them heavily in order to pay for the cost of the French and Indian war. The British used methods like the Stamp Act and the Navigation Acts to get more money. When the British saw the colonists getting angrier and getting close to the state of rebellion, they sent in troops to Boston to control the colonists. This eventually caused the Boston Massacre, in which seven British soldiers fired into an American crowd, killing five colonists.
