Why did great Britain enact the Sugar Stamp Declaratory and Townshend acts and why did the colonists oppose these?
The revenue acts were designed to raise funds from the colonies for Britain and its contract companies. In some cases, this was explained as restitution for the costs of maintaining military forces in America. Many colonists were upset because they had no say over the passage or enforcement of these acts, because they had no direct representation in Parliament. This continuing quarrel between Britain and the colonies eventually provoked armed rebellion in the Revolutionary War (1775-1783).
