answers1: Sugar Act (1764)- First Revenue raising act for Britain. It
was supposed to place a high tax on sugar from the West Indies;
however, the colonies rebelled forcing the crown to back down. <br>
<br>
Stamp Act (1765)- A way of raising revenue for the military
expenditure after the French and Indian War. It required a stamp on
about 50 items. Britain believed it was a perfectly reasonable act.
The colonists saw no need for it, and they felt it jeopardized their
rights as Englishmen. It sparked the ideology of "No taxation without
representation". <br>
<br>
Townshend Acts (1767)- It required the suspension of New York until
they accepted the Quartering Act. They also created duties on colonial
imports, which lead to colonial resistance. <br>
<br>
Tea Act (1773)- It is a tax break on tea. Colonists were not buying
tea due to the Revenue Act, and the East India Company needed money.
The colonists did not see it as a tax break, and it did not go over
well, led to Boston Tea Party. <br>
<br>
Intolerable/Coercive Acts (April 1774) Britain's response to the
Boston Tea Party. The acts closed the Boston port, until the tea was
paid for from the Tea Party. New Quartering Act issued, and forbid
town meetings without governmental consent. <br>

I hope this helps.
answers2: OMG this is so familiar from Grade 7 last year!! Pretty much
the cause of each act was to gain more taxes. Sugar act placed taxes
on stuff like sugar and molasses. Stamp act raised taxes on stamps,
which made it more costly to get a newpaper or send a letter.
Townshend act I cannot remember. Tea act put taxes on...what else but
tea! and Intolerable Acts, I kind of forget what that was for. Pretty
much ti was all taxation without representation. I guess you could say
the cause of these Acts being created was to gain more taxes, and the
effect was that the colonists became rebellious, and that's where The
American Revolution came into play, and the Boston Tea Party incident.
Hope this helps!
