The colonists opposed the implications of the Tea Act, as the goal was to undercut the price of illegal tea. It was a passive-aggressive way of legitimizing the Townshend Duties.
The colonists eventually responded to the tea act by dressing as Mohawk Indians and threw 342 chests of tea into the ocean. The reason why they were dressed as Mohawk indians is because they knew if they were to be discovered, they would suffer MAJOR consequences or be brought into a war. And finally the reason why the colonists threw the tea is because they got furious about British taxation.

The tea act
The British government was extremely upset with the colonies, specifically Massachusetts. In response, Parliament passed the Intolerable Acts, which:Closed the Boston Port until the debt for all the tea that was dumped was paid for.Reduced Massachusetts' right to self-governmentAllowed British troops to quarter in any town in MassachusettsThe colonists resented the British government further and more revolutionaries as a result from both events.
the tea act was written because of history
the stamp act was to tax on any paper items from the postal services such as stamps and the tea act was the tax on tea so people would have to pay for the tea
It was a big deal, and that's when they started thinking that they would either need some changes or they should have a revolution.
The colonist and the East India Tea Company were the main character in the Tea Act
