Britain put a hold on the New York Assembly in 1767 due to its refusal to comply with the Quartering Act, which required colonial assemblies to provide housing and supplies for British troops stationed in America. The British government responded by suspending the assembly's legislative powers until it agreed to comply. This action heightened tensions between Britain and the American colonies, contributing to the growing discontent that eventually led to the American Revolution.
