Answer 1

Answer: both led to a loss of civil liberties for colonists

Step-by-step explanation:

The Writs of Assistance allowed British colonial customs officers in Colonial America to enforce trade laws by being able to search any ship or house that they suspected might be harboring smuggled goods.

The Quartering Acts were laws that made it the responsibility of local governments in Colonial America to feed and shelter British soldiers which led to British soldier sometimes sleeping in people's houses.

Both these Acts led to the loss of civil liberties for the colonists who had to allow the British into their homes at the behest of the British.
