Explanation
Answer: A - The Sugar Act was levied first, in 1764. The Stamp Act was levied the following year, in 1765. The Townshend Acts were levied in 1767. And the Intolerable Acts, or Coercive Acts, were levied in 1774, immediately before the start of the American Revolution and in response to the Boston Tea Party. The taxes were all levied against the colonists without their input, inspiring the sentiment “no taxation without representation.”
