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.

It restricted their trade.
because after the french and Indian war Britain was in mayor debt so they decided that the colonies were a subject to Britain since they enjoyed Britain's proteccions therefore they decided to tax them or gain money by taxing the colonies so they could pay their debt. it was really unfair but after the colonies protested against taxation without representation and since William pitt of parliament agreed with them the stamp act was repealed or taken away.
