Answer:

The Sugar Act was proposed by Prime Minister George Grenville. The goal of the act was to raise revenue to help defray the military costs of protecting the American colonies at a time when Great Britain's economy was saddled with the huge national debt accumulated during the French and Indian War (aka Seven Years War).
