external tax

Tax levied on goods coming into the colonies, like sugar, molasses, foreign goods. Although the colonists had no say in how these taxes were spent, they generally considered Parliament had the right to levy the tax. internal tax

Tax levied on goods produced within the colonies, such as newspapers, official documents, goods and services, in order to raise money. Colonists had no say in how this money was spent, as they had no representation in Parliament, so they thought the right to levy internal taxes should belong to the colonists only.

Provisions of townshed act?

The Townshend Acts applied duties (taxes) to paper, paint, lead, glass, and tea imported by the colonies. Townshend had studied the colonist's distinction between internal and external taxes and he believed his duties were external as none of the products, except tea, could be made in the colonies. The colonists did not agree with his thinking and the result was a colonial boycott against British products. Trade between England and America fell off by 50 percent as a result of the boycott. The British merchants complained to Parliament who repealed the Townshend Duties except the tax on tea. The tea tax was kept in honor of the Declaratory Act. Parliament passed that act to declare that they did have the right to tax the colonies regardless of the American claim of internal or external taxation.
