Answer 4

These new taxes were an atempt for the British to remain in control of the New World. British leaders were scared of the eminant revolt and wanted to keep bussiness in the New world in check.

If colonist refused the taxes the British could refuse the goods. The colonists did not have anyone else to trade with on the large scale.
