Answer: The stamp act, the sugar act and tea act.

Explanation: During British rule in the colonies, the British decided to pass a tax on the colonies to pay off war debt from the French and Indian war. The stamp act was a tax on stamps, paper, newspaper, playing cards and anything else made out of paper. The sugar act was then later passed also by the British government which imposed a tax on sugar, molasses etc. The tea act was a tax imposed on tea.

Hope this helps!
