Trading in the American colonies before the Revolution was controlled by the British, largely by the East India Trading Company. The Boston Tea Party was a protest on this control. Because the East India Trading Company had a monopoly on tea imports to the colonies (and because it was so closely related to the British government), the Sons of Liberty took it upon themselves to throw the tea into the Boston Harbor as a protest to the level of control the British had over the colonies.

It can be inferred that the Boston Tea Party, alongside many other acts of protest, contributed to the development of American government by drawing attention to the unfair control Great Britain had over the people in its colonies. This dislike of unfairness and the type of revolutionaries it attracted led to a trend in American government: a love of libery and a desire to protect rights. The same people fighting for freedom were the ones in charge of building a country out of the colonies, and themes of liberty and justice carried through from the Declaration of Independence, to the failed Articles of Confederation and all the way through to the Constitution.
