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

The Tea Act.
The tea act was the act of the American colonists rebelling against the British for taxation without representation on tea, it was also an act of freedom from Britain.
they had the Boston tea party (where they dumped the tea into the Boston harbor)
The Tea Act was passed in 1773, before the Boston Tea Party. The Boston Tea Party was a protest against the tea act, as tea smugglers and merchants were afraid cheap tea would put them out of business. Since it was the reason for the Boston Tea Party, it could not be a punishment for Massachusetts.
