Which option correctly describes the Townshend Acts of 1767

The Townshend Acts of 1767 were a series of British laws that imposed duties on imported goods to the American colonies, including items such as tea, glass, paper, and paint. These acts were part of the British government’s attempt to raise revenue following the expenses incurred during the French and Indian War and to assert its authority over the colonies. The legislation led to significant resistance from the colonists, who objected to taxation without representation, resulting in protests and boycotts. The Townshend Acts ultimately fueled tensions that contributed to the American Revolution.
