The Writs of Assistance allowed British officials to issue blank warrants in America. That meant that those officials could search a house without having to explain to cause. As one of the intolerable acts, the Writs angered the Massachusetts colonist and sent them closer to rebellion. It also inspired one of the guaranteed rights in the Bill of Rights; the one dealing with warrants.
Writs of Assistance were passed to empower British soldiers to search any colonial home they believed harbored smuggled goods. Writs of Assistance enhanced the Townshend Acts. The Writs of Assistance aroused a lot of anger and were challenged in every court in the thirteen colonies.

No the townshend act did not give writs of assistance. The act legalized search warrants, and the rights of people were fringed upon.
