Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

The mentioned law was passed in March 1765. It meant the conditions under which the royal army should be stationed in the American colonies. In cases where barracks did not have sufficient capacity to accommodate soldiers, the law required troops to be housed in alternative facilities in colonies such as inns and uninhabited facilities. In such circumstances, there was a mixing of British troops and colonists, which led to a series of conflicts between them.
