Question 34 • FL-2100010-M/J United States History A-CR

Why did the Tea Act of 1773 anger many American colonists?

Answer
A
The law made tea difficult to buy.
B
The law restricted them from buying tea.
C
The law ended the tea trade in the colonies.
D
The law forced them to buy taxed tea.

Explanation

The Tea Act let the British East India Company sell tea directly to the colonies, but the tea still carried a tax imposed by Parliament. Colonists objected to paying that tax because they had no representatives in Parliament, and they saw the law as forcing them to accept taxation without representation. So the best answer is that the law forced them to buy taxed tea.
