One of the laws was the Sugar Act, which caused all sugar to be taxed. It also stopped imports of rum. This act took place shortly after the Salutary Neglect ended, and the colonists didn't want to pay extra money on simple things like sugar. There was also the Stamp Act, the Proclamation Line (which stopped colonists from settling any farther west than the Appalachians), as well as the Quartering Act. The colonists slowly grew more and more irritated with these new laws, and began protesting against the King. The effect this had on the colonies was unity, because the Sons of Liberty was created at this time, and they all came together as one.

Some were bound by unity [The Sons of Liberty], and some were just simply outraged.
