To help pay British debts from the French and Indian War, Parliament placed a tax on sugar, molasses, and other products shipped to the colonies. The taxes made these products more expensive.
Colonists saw the act as a threat to their political rights. Colonists argued that Parliament did not have the right to tax the colonists and that no tax should be created without their consent.
