The Townshend Acts are the commonly used name for two Acts of the Parliament of Great Britain passed in 1767 having been proposed by Charles Townshend, (11 July 1700–12 March 1764), Chancellor of the Exchequer, just before his death. These laws placed a tax on common products imported into the American Colonies, such as lead, paper, paint, glass, and tea (though they did not place a tax on silk). In contrast to the Stamp Act of 1765, the laws were not a direct tax, but a tax on imports. The Townshend Acts also created three new admiralty courts to try Americans who ignored the laws. (1)
