How and why did those policies Chang in the 1760s and 1770s?

In the 1760s and 1770s, British policies towards the American colonies changed significantly due to the need to recover debts from the French and Indian War and to assert greater control over colonial governance. The introduction of taxes like the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts aimed to generate revenue and curb colonial autonomy, leading to widespread dissent. Colonists reacted with protests and boycotts, ultimately fostering a sense of unity and resistance that culminated in the American Revolution. These changes reflected Britain's shift from a largely hands-off approach to a more interventionist stance in colonial affairs.
