While not directly connected, the Boston Tea Party was a reaction to the taxes being levyed by England against the colonists. It was felt by the colonists that the King was outstepping his bounds and curtailing the colonist's rights as English citizens. Keeping the injustices that had been commited by the British crown in mind, the writers of the constitution constructed a form of government with checks and balances to prevent a similar situation happening in the future. The demand for a Bill of Rights further laid out the individual rights of the people to protect them against injustices committed by the government.
