King George III originally had a man named William Pitt as the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Pitt was a favorite in the colonies, because he disagreed to the stamp acts an believed that the colonists had the right to live in America with out a leader. Pitt soon became very sick, so then King George replaced William with Charles Townshend. Unlike William, Charles didnt care about the rights of the colonists. He convinced parliament to pass a series of laws that he wrote. These laws taxed everything that came in and out of the Colonies. It also insured that every judge, official, and governor received a salary from the king.
