The Sugar Act of 1764 was specifically aimed at reducing the previous Molasses Act's tax rates while also enforcing stricter measures against smuggling, distinguishing it from other British taxes that were often broader in scope or more generalized. Unlike the Stamp Act, which imposed direct taxes on a wide range of printed materials, the Sugar Act focused on regulating trade and revenue from specific goods, namely sugar and molasses. Additionally, the Sugar Act aimed to bolster British economic interests in the colonies by encouraging compliance rather than outright rebellion, which contrasted with the backlash generated by more direct taxation measures.
