Why did parliament decide to keep tax on tea?
The American colonists had objected to the Townshend Act taxes, which resulted in the Boston Massacre. The reason for the colonists' anger was that they felt that under British law, they were supposed to be able to vote in Parliament's elections if they are being taxed. Since they were not allowed to vote, they felt the Townshend taxes were illegal. After the Massacre, Parliament wanted to repeal all of the Townshend Act taxes. The Prime Minister at the time, Lord North, wanted to keep the tax on tea as proof that Parliament did have the right to raise taxes on the colonists, despite their lack of voting rights. Remember, British (and American) law is largely based on "precedent"- when laws are reviewed, the courts look at history to see how things were done before, and try to keep the laws the same- "this is how it worked then, so it's how it works now too." By keeping the tea tax on the books, if Parliament passed a colonial tax later and it was reviewed by the courts, the government could point to the tea tax as proof of the precedent.
