उत्तर
The American colonists refused to pay taxes, as they argued that the British Parliament had no right to tax the colonists since they had no representatives in the Parliament. In 1773, a group of colonists, disguised as Red Indians, raided British ships in Boston Harbor and threw 340 crates of tea into the sea. This incident was a protest against the new taxes, including a tax on tea, imposed on the colonies. The importance of this act was that it was an act of open defiance of the colonists against British authority.
