Explanation:

In 1767, Charles Townshend, Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer decided to impose the Townshend Act, which imposed further taxation on goods such as china, glass, lead, paint, paper and tea, which were imported into the colonies. He did so to raise the revenue and change the policies on colonial governments. These taxes were to be added to the ones already existing with the Stamp Act.
