Answer:
The amount of taxes they had to pay due to the Acts passed by Parliament.
Step-by-step explanation:
To pay off their war debts from the French and Indian War, British Parliament passed the Stamp Act, the Sugar Act, the Townsend Act, and the Tea Act. The colonists were mostly taxed on popular items, (tea, glass, paint, and paper), so that they would have no choice but to pay them.
