Answer 1

The British tax on lead, paint, and glass was a result of the Townshend Acts. These acts were passed by the British Parliament in 1767 and were named after Charles Townshend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer who proposed them. The Townshend Acts also placed taxes on paper and tea, leading to widespread protest among the American colonists.
