1. They responded by having the Boston Tea party, held riots, killed military peeps.
2. The military was on the march because they wanted to make sure the colonists were paying the tax and so theywouldn'tt revolt.
How the colonist responded t the new tax laws and increased military presence of British government was that the colonist went on strike and they did not pay their taxes. The british military was on the march because many people were threatening to have a war againt the british and they werent paying thier taxes sooo you know they wanted to invade the colonists/.
