The Proclamation of 1763 was written so that settlers were not aloud to pass the Appalachian Mountains. (The British didn’t allow it; The Colonists ignored this rule and moved west)
The Currency Act was created (by the British) and so the Colonists had to pay for British goods with gold and silver.
Indirect Tax was made meaning tax was included in the price Colonists paid to buy items.
The Sugar Act of 1764 was passed when the British asked Colonists to pay 3 cents tax on sugar. The British didn’t even ask permission from the Colonists when doing this. The Colonists hated being controlled by the British government.
The Stamp Act of 1765 was made when all newspapers, documents, etc. have a British seal/stamp on them, which costed money (this was an easier way for British government to get money). The Colonists were very angry so they revolted against the government and decided to write a response about the Stamp Act to the British Parliament.
Quartering Act of 1765 when Colonists had to provide food and shelter to British troops.
The Declaratory Act of 1766 this law was passed to stop the Colonists from forming their own government.
