john Locke believed the Social Contract was only valid if men were willing to give up some of their natural rights to the government, in exchange for the protection of their remaining rights. The Boston Tea Party clearly showed that the social contract had not been reached between Britain and the colonies. The colonies, therefore, refused to cede any of their power to the government, and rejected its efforts to govern them.
