Step-by-step explanation:

Quartering Act: Required the colonies to house British soldiers in barracks provided by the colonies

Declaratory Act: Declaration by the British Parliament that accompanied the repeal of the Stamp Act (that they were in control basically).

Townshend Acts: Imposed duties on British china, glass, lead, paint, paper and tea imported to the colonies.

Sugar Act: British legislation aimed at ending the smuggling trade in sugar and molasses.

Stamp Act: Act of the Parliament of Great Britain which imposed a direct tax on the British colonies in America and required that many printed materials in the colonies be produced on stamped paper produced in London, carrying an embossed revenue stamp.
