The Quartering Act of 1765 made the colonists house the troops. Later on this became more tense since there were little jobs and the colonists were fighting with the British redcoats to get a job. This also brought a problem with the food and space of housing. They could not act a plan against the king since the British redcoats would here everything.

On this day in 1765, Parliament passes the Quartering Act, outlining the locations and conditions in which British soldiers are to find room and board in the American colonies. The Quartering Act of 1765 required the colonies to house British soldiers in barracks provided by the colonies.
THE QUARTERING ACT is the answer
