A. raising taxes on foreign-made molasses

D. refused to send soldiers to protect against Native American attacks

Explanation:

The British government tightened its empire by regulating the laws and making sure all their citizens were protected. However, the colonists in America did not obey the rules because they were evading them. They kept on trading with the French even after the completion of the war.

The American colonist were supposed to pay their share, which was essential for the sake of their safety since the British government did not offer them any protection. They, therefore, had to take part in revenue collection to control trade.
