Was the Boston tea party a turning point in the relationship between the british and the colonists?

The Boston tea party served notice on the British that the American colonists were fed up with the continually increasing number of commodities that the British were levying taxes on.

The Americans had been happy to bypass buying tea from the British, and instead bought tea from various American smugglers at a very lower cost. The British finally caught on to this and blocked the smugglers' ships, forcing the colonists to again purchase from the British.

Quartering of troops?

This amendment resulted from way back in America's colonial times. After the French and Indian war(Seven Years War) in the 1700s, the British government had begun to send troops to enforce their several Acts( i.e: Stamp Act, Tea Act, Townshend Act) upon the colonists. To ensure they were properly cared for, the British Government required that all colonists provide the British troops with provisions and shelter;however, this did not mean that the colonists had to let them sleep in their home as long as the provided shelter was liveable. However, the most colonists weren't people who just had extra buildings to spare and the result of that would be the troops having to live in their homes. As you can agree, most colonists were not happy about "babysitting" troops and that is why shortly after the American Revolution had come and passed, The Constitution was written including a section that says Its people are not required to quarter troops in their homes.

What was the 1920 government of Ireland act set up to achieve?

The act was set up to keep both the Catholics and Protestants happy. For example, the Catholics (nationalists) wanted to be under their own government throughout the whole of Ireland, but this meant that they could have the majority of Ireland, and be under their own government, rather than be under a British government. (so they were happy, that they weren't British). And the Protestants (unionists) wanted to stay in Ireland and be under a British government, which this act made them, so that they could have all the benifits of being in Britain.


What two acts were passed in 1764 that upset the colonists?

The Tea Act, which made tea cheaper by sending it straight to the colonies without going to Britain first. The Colonists weren't happy because they would have to buy the tea that was sent and at the fact that there were British officials running.
