Out of all the acts that we studied in our time looking at the road to the Revolution, which do you consider to be the harshest, and why?

In my opinion, out of the acts that we studied, I would have to choose that the quartering act was the harshest. Because it made the colonists house, shelter, supply and feed the enemy soldiers for twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Even if they struggled to feed their own children a small bowl of peas one meal a day. And then now they have to feed a thirty-something man that requires three BIG bowls of peas a DAY. And, if they can barely afford two bedrooms, one for the parents, and one for their kids, they have to change that to one for the soldier,and one for everybody else. Also, if they work their tails off to pay their so many taxes for five, they have to EXTRA for that smelly soldier.
