Once the Sugar act was passed (1764) the colonists threw lots of smaller rebellions. Although this was not very effective, it did get the Parliament's attention. So, the colonist began a major protest which many colonies got into. They stopped using british imports all together! So now the tax was of absolutely no use to Britian. Parliament repealed the act.
No, the colonists didn't agree with the Sugar Act and Stamp Act. The colonists protested because each act put taxes on stamps, sugar, molasses and more. Colonists thought it was unfair to them because the British were taxing them. They protested at the side of more acts and they eventually had the Revolutionary War.

The colonial reaction to the sugar act was smuggling sugar and molasses.

The stamp and sugar act happened because the british were taxing the colonists on little things such as stamp and sugar. The colonists, of course, protested. This lead to the Boston Tea Party.

Yes
The colonist didn't organize the sugar act. It was a British law.
Some colonists felt that Britain had no right to tax them because they had no representations in parliament. The colonists felt that this was against their rights as British citizens.The colonists opposed the Sugar Act because it was the first time they received an internal tax directly and felt that it was a major tax hike. Prior to that act, they were taxed lower and indirectly.
