Step-by-step explanation:

(they're not in any order in this list)

Tea act: A tax on tea; angered the colonists

Stamp act: Colonists would have to purchase a "stamp" to place on public documents i.e newspapers, playing cards, almanacs, etc.

Intolerable acts: a series of laws passed by the British Government that restricted the colonist's freedoms. They were passed in response to the Boston Tea Party.

Sugar Act: A tax on sugar, this upset the colonists because they felt that the taxes were unfair, as they lacked representation in congress.

Proclamation of 1763: Prevented colonists from settling west of the Appalachian Mountains, a desire for better farmland led many colonists to defy this act.
