The Tea Act of 1773 was designed to assist the struggling British East India Company by allowing it to sell surplus tea directly to the American colonies, bypassing colonial merchants and lowering the price of tea. However, it effectively granted the company a monopoly over the tea trade in the colonies, which angered many colonists who viewed it as an infringement on their rights and a means of taxation without representation. This unrest ultimately led to the Boston Tea Party, where colonists protested by dumping British tea into Boston Harbor.
