Help me please! British Policy Chart

Okay so I'm doing this chart for APUSH and it says:

Creat a chart detailing the various British polocies enacted following the Seven Years War. Indicate the content or provisions of these acts, the colonial response and the impact on growing colonial unity, and the impact of the experience on post independence governance. Include the Proclamation of 1763, Greenville Acts, Townsend Duties, First continental Congress, Samuel Adams, and Sons of Liberty.

Okay so I have the provisions and colonial response to everything and all these things brought the colonists somewhat together in unity right?

What I really need help on is the part about the Impact of the experience on post Independence governance. What exactly does that mean?

Please help me!

what it's asking is "how did the british policies help to shape our constitution?"

for example one of the townsend acts (i think) required that colonists to let brittish troops live in there homes. in the bill of rights a section was included to prevent this from happening.

all in all, it's just another brick in the wall...

Actually the Townshend Acts were a light indirect tax on British imported goods. They were later revoked because they did not generate enough revenue to please the members of Parliament pocketbooks. I think that the tax was on tea, paper, ink ect. All was revoked except for the tea tax.
