Answer:

They required colonists to pay taxes on several household items.

Explanation:

The Townshend Laws was one of a series of taxes that divided Britain and its colonies in America. Unlike the Stamp Act of 1765, the laws were not a direct tax, but a tax on imports. The Stamp Act had been repealed by the opposition in the colonies that include the boycott of British products.

The Townshend Laws of 1767 were the idea of Charles Townshend, who was one of the ministers of William Pitt and his Chatham ministry. Charles Townshend, as Minister of Finance, had the difficult role in the British government of finance management.
