Question

What was the first act that the Parliament passed in an attempt to raise revenue by taxing the American colonists?

Answer 1

The Quartering Act: obligated colonial legislations to meet the needs of British soldiers stationed in that colony
The Stamp Act: mandated that colonists affix stamps to certain legal and commercial documents
The Declaratory Act: stated that the Parliament had the absolute right to impose taxes on the colonists
The Revenue Act: taxed goods such as paper and paint that the colonies imported from Britain
The Sugar Act: increased the duties on sugar imported from the West Indies

Answer 2

Well, i'm pretty sure in 1764 the Currency Act was the first act passed. However, it's not on your choice list. The next, I believe, was the Stamp Act in 1765.
