Both were intended to raise revenue through taxation, but the Townshend acts were also a punitive measure against the colonists. The Stamp Act, in effect, gave the British government the power to establish the legality of documents. The Townshend Act forced the colonies to pay for the British officials who would regulate them, independent of their own control.
