Parliament believed the colonists would accept the Tea Act of 1773 because it lowered the price of tea for the colonists, making it more affordable than smuggled tea. Additionally, Parliament thought the colonists would be willing to pay the tax on tea to support British authority.

The colonists opposed the implications of the Tea Act, as the goal was to undercut the price of illegal tea. It was a passive-aggressive way of legitimizing the Townshend Duties.The colonists eventually responded to the tea act by dressing as Mohawk Indians and threw 342 chests of tea into the ocean. The reason why they were dressed as Mohawk indians is because they knew if they were to be discovered, they would suffer MAJOR consequences or be brought into a war. And finally the reason why the colonists threw the tea is because they got furious about British taxation.
The tea act(act that made tea have taxes) caused the Boston Tea Party(hundreds of colonists throw British tea into the ocean.)
The Boston Port Act was an effort on the part of the British to collect money from the colonists to pay for the tea that had been destroyed during the Boston Tea Party. The colonists felt it was unfair to make everyone pay for something that most of them didn't participate in.
