Question

the first step was the replacement of the molasses act of 1733, which placed a prohibitive duty, or tax, on the import of rum and molasses from non - english areas, with the sugar act of 1764. this act outlawed the importation of foreign rum; it also put a modest duty on molasses from all sources and levied taxes on wines, silks, coffee, and a number of other luxury items. the hope was that lowering the duty on molasses would reduce the temptation to smuggle the commodity from the dutch and french west indies for the rum distilleries of new england. the british government enforced the sugar act energetically. customs officials were ordered to show more effectiveness. british warships in american waters were instructed to seize smugglers, and \writs of assistance,\ or warrants, authorized the kings officers to search suspected premises.
both the duty imposed by the sugar act and the measures to enforce it caused consternation among new england merchants. they contended that payment of even the small duty imposed would be ruinous to their businesses. merchants, legislatures, and town meetings protested the law. colonial lawyers protested \taxation without representation,\ a slogan that was to persuade many americans they were being oppressed by the mother country.
later in 1764, parliament enacted a currency act \to prevent paper bills of credit after issued in any of his majestys colonies from being made legal tender.\ since colonies were a deficit trade area and constantly short of hard currency, this added a serious burden to the economy. equally objectionable from a viewpoint was the quartering act, passed in 1765, which required colonies to provide royal troops with provisions and barracks.
