• Paying taxes was nothing new
- It had rarely been enforced in the past– This act actually lowered the existing duty
• Led to increased smuggling by colonists, lowered business for merchants, ship builders

Sugar Act (cont.)
• Smuggling cases sent to Britain – British crown heard the case– no trial by jury of peers
• Parliament justified Act by stating “deeply in debt after war and needed colonists to play a part of the costs for securing the frontier”
