Before the Boston Tea Party were the taxes of the colonial people. The saying "taxation without representation" comes from this time period. The colonial americans were paying an incredibly high amount of taxes BUT they were not allowed to have a representative in parliament. There were taxes on everything, paper, tea, etc. When tea started being taxed, the colonists had enough, so they dumped it overboard in the act called the Boston Tea Party.
