    The Stamp Act of 1764 was a British Law, passed by the Parliament of Great Britain. The Stamp Act was designed to raise revenue from the American colonists in all of the 13 Colonies. It set a tax in the form of a stamp required on all newspapers, legal and commercial documents.

    The Sugar Act of 1764 was a British Law, passed by the Parliament of Great Britain on February 6th, 1765. It was a law that attempted to curb the smuggling of sugar and molasses in the colonies by reducing the previous tax rate and enforcing the collection of duties. In other words, a law passed by the British Parliament in 1764 raising duties on foreign refined sugar imported by the colonies so as to give British sugar growers in the West Indies a monopoly on the colonial market.
