Between 1750 and 1770, American colonists sought to persuade Parliament to change various taxation and governance policies that they deemed unjust. They opposed measures such as the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts, arguing that taxation without representation violated their rights as English subjects. Colonists demanded greater autonomy and the repeal of taxes imposed without their consent, leading to increased tensions that eventually culminated in the American Revolution. Their efforts included petitions, boycotts, and organized protests, such as the Boston Tea Party.

Why were all acts accepted except tax on tea?

Actually, they weren't. The difference was that the Tea Act was written in a way to try to look like something other than a tax, but also so if the colonists accepted it, the British Parliament would argue that they had accepted the power of Parliament to tax them without representation. Colonists who understood the world situation also objected to the tax because it was a move by Parliament to bail out the British East India Company by raising money from the colonists. Giant corporations were regarded as oppressing the colonists along with the Crown, so fighting the tea tax was a fight against two evils at once.
