○ they established new trade measures and prohibitions.
○ they formed new peace treaties with indigenous peoples.

The Townshend Acts were a series of British laws imposed on the American colonies in the 1760s, primarily focused on levying new taxes on goods imported to the colonies, including tea, paper, and glass. The other options describe actions unrelated to these acts: trade prohibitions were more associated with earlier Navigation Acts, peace treaties with Indigenous peoples were not part of the Townshend Acts, and colonial boundary disputes were addressed by measures like the Proclamation Line of 1763.
