Define the townshend act?
The Townshend Acts applied duties (taxes) to paper, paint, lead, glass, and tea imported by the colonies. Townshend had studied the colonist's distinction between internal and external taxes and he believed his duties were external as none of the products, except tea, could be made in the colonies. The colonists did not agree with his thinking and the result was a colonial boycott against British products. Trade between England and America fell off by 50 percent as a result of the boycott. The British merchants complained to Parliament who repealed the Townshend Duties except the tax on tea. The tea tax was kept in honor of the Declaratory Act. Parliament passed that act to declare that they did have the right to tax the colonies regardless of the American claim of internal or external taxation.

They also held trials for the soldiers involved, leading to some being acquitted and others found guilty of lesser charges. The event was used by colonial leaders like Samuel Adams as propaganda to galvanize anti-British sentiment and unify the colonies against British rule.
How were the townshend acts?
In 1767 British Parliament decided to tax the American colonists. The series of four acts (The Townshend Acts) imposed duties on imports of lead, paint, glass, paper, and tea and established a board of customs commissioners to enforce collection. They also revived colonial quartering of British troops. The colonists protested the new laws as taxation without representation and resisted compliance. Nonimportation agreements among colonial merchants cut British imports in half by 1769. In 1770 all the duties except the tax on tea were repealed. However during the course of their being unfairly taxed the colonists snuck into the Boston Harbor, disguised as Indians, and dumped tea into Boston Harbor; thus the Boston Tea Party was born.
