Which of the following describes the Sugar Act?

Answer 1

The Sugar Act was a law passed by the British Parliament in 1764 with the purpose of raising revenue from the American colonies. It imposed taxes on sugar and other imported goods such as wine, coffee, and textiles. The act also increased penalties for smuggling and gave British officials greater power to enforce tax collection. The Sugar Act was met with resistance and protests from the colonists, who felt it violated their rights and furthered their discontent with British rule.
