Refering to the factors leading to the american revolution: do the acts passed by the british, such as the stamp act, tea act, ect., count as political factors or economic, because they were from the government, but they are taxes???

Both, actually.
They were politically engineered by the King and Parliament because he was trying to rescue the British tea industry. He had repealed the taxes on other British goods, but kept the tea tax which infuriated the British citizens in the American colony. Yes, we were still considering ourselves British citizens at the time, so being taxed like that was considered unjust and unfair. This prompted the famous "Taxation without Representation is Tyranny!" It became very political rapidly as emotional and psychological rift between Britain and the 13 colonies grew.
These taxes were also economic because the British government and Crown wanted to make money from their colonies and had to pass laws to make it happen. Economic pressures inside Britain such as the burgeoning Industrial Revolution (which badly hurt the wool trade among others) and outside pressures (wars with France and Spain) made getting money from the colonies even more important. There were economic impacts on the colonies, as well.
