Explanation:

1 - Grenville Program - - - Increase in old taxes and new taxes on imported goods to raise money for England

George Grenville, Prime Minister of Great Britain, tried to gain popularity by reducing taxes within England, increasing the tax burden on the American colonies in return.

2 - Proclamation Act of 1763 - - - Closed all newly acquired lands west of the Allegheny Mountains to colonists

The proclamation prohibited settlers from settling beyond a line drawn along the Appalachian Mountains, a line that was geographically similar to the route of the eastern continental divide that ran north from Georgia to the Pennsylvania state border and New York, and to the northeast beyond the watershed over the San Lorenzo divide and from there northward through New England.

3 - Stamp Act of 1765 - - - Tax on newspapers, pamphlets, legal paper, calendars, playing cards

The Stamp Act was a law of the British Parliament that entailed a direct and specific tax for the Thirteen Colonies of British America that required that most printed materials in the colonies be published on stamped paper produced in London.

4 - Declaration of Rights and Grievances - - - Boycott of goods that remained after colonist boycott

The right of the Parliament to regulate foreign trade was recognized, but the right of the colonies to manage their own internal affairs without the intervention of the imperial government was defended.

5 - Tax on tea - - - Only tax on goods that remained after colonist boycott

The Tea Act was a law promulgated by the Parliament of the Kingdom of Great Britain in May 1773 that allowed the British East India Company to sell its tea in the Thirteen Colonies of North America without paying taxes.

6 - Intolerable Acts - - - Closed the port of Boston

The Intolerable Acts was the name given to the laws issued in 1774 by the British Parliament due to continued discontent in the Thirteen Colonies, particularly in Boston after turbulent incidents such as the Tea Party.

7 - Quartering Act - - - British troops in the colonies were housed and fed by colonists

By this law, on May 15, 1765, the British Crown imposed on the settlers the obligation to provide shelter and food to the 10,000 soldiers who arrived from the metropolis, first in barracks and public houses and then directly in their homes.
