Descripción:
brought harsh taxes on goods like glass, paper, tea; writs of assistance were issued that allowed a search of colonial homes without a warrant. Led to more non-importation agreements. Women went around gathering signatures. Created committees of of Inspection to make sure nobody broke the agreements. It became a sign of pride to use homemade or local goods. People also formed Committees of Correspondence to spread updates quickly. 1770 Britain repeals both acts.
