British Legislation (Laws) – Sample Answers
Year Act Possible Impact on the Colonies
1699 The Wool Act
Declared that wool produced in the colonies could only be exported to Britain
The Colonies could not make money by exporting wool to countries other than Britain.
1732 The Hat Act
Declared that hats made in the colonies could not be exported.
The Colonies could not make money by selling hats to other countries.
1733The
Molasses Act
Put a high tax on all molasses, rum and sugar which the colonies imported from countries other than Britain
It would make it more expensive to buy molasses, rum and sugar from any place except Britain. This would be a problem because the Colonies traded areas of the West Indies for these products.
1750 The Iron Act
Declared that no new furnaces which produced steel for tools could be built in the colonies. It also banned the manufacture of hardware in the colonies.
This would seriously limit the ability of the Colonies to make manufactured goods.
