Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Sugar Act was passed in 1764 and the Stamp Act was passed a year later in 1765. Both were designed to raise revenue for the British. But the reaction by the colonists to the Acts was very different. ... The Stamp Act was the first direct tax on domestically produced and consumed items.
