1773 Act that gave a monopoly on tea sales to the East India Company. In other words, American colonists could buy no tea unless it came from that company. Why? Well, the East Indian Company wasn't doing so well, and the British wanted to give it some more business. The Tea Act lowered the price on this East India tea so much that it was way below tea from other suppliers. But the American colonists saw this law as yet another means of "taxation without representation" because it meant that they couldn't buy tea from anyone else (including other colonial merchants) without spending a lot more money. Their response was to refuse to unload the tea from the ships. This was the situation in Boston that led to the Boston Tea Party.

i dont really know, but here are some of the things: paper, lead, paint, tea, and paper -Edit by Wesalicious- Look up: Stamp Act, Sugar Act, Tea Act, Intolerable Acts.
The Tea act happened because of Britain needing money to pay for the French & Indian war. They taxed colonists and when they refused to pay, Britain ran out of money. So when the king's close friend in the British East India Company said he was overstocked with tea. The King bought this tea hoping to sell it to the colonist for very cheap but taxing it. This act put many importers out of business so the colonists got mad. They stole tea from one of the boats, and dumped it into the harbor as a political movement to show the British that the don't need them. Hope this helps :)
The Intolerable Acts
the british acts were: navagation acts the proclimation of 1763 sugar act(1764) quartering act(1765) stamp act(1765) townshend acts(1767) tea act(1773) intolerable acts(1774)
The Sugar Act was enacted in order to prevent smuggling in the colonies. The British wanted the colonies to purchase goods only from Britain. The Tea Act was a lower in prices of tea from the British East India Company. the British enacted the Tea Act because their tea was too expensive and they couldn't sell. With a lower price, colonists began to buy the British tea. Colonial merchants were angry because their tea wouldn't sell to the colonists since the British tea had a lowered price. The Tea Act led to the Boston Tea Party where colonial merchants protested about British tea and threw crates of them into Boston harbor.
The tea act(act that made tea have taxes) caused the Boston Tea Party(hundreds of colonists throw British tea into the ocean.)
I believe it was to be able to sell tea.
The Boston Tea Party was an act to boycott British tea.
No, they boycotted British tea
The Tea Act of 1773 gave British tea companies a hegemony over all the American tea trade. The Tea Act was created to provide protection for the British East India Tea Company, which was struggling against competition, as well as a way to tax the colonists.
the british made them pay for all the destroyed tea
The Tea Act LOWERED the cost of the British tea tax and the British did it to make the tea more competitive against the tea that was being smuggled in from Holland by American smugglers. The smugglers were upset to see that they would loose business and it had nothing to do with taxes.

The British reacted by closing the Boston Harbor so anyone and anything could not get out or in.
The tea act was the act of the American colonists rebelling against the British for taxation without representation on tea, it was also an act of freedom from Britain.
