Stamp act
The British parliament passed the Stamp Act made colonists to pay a tax and was represented as a stamp on various forms of paper. All this led to the shouting of “ liberty and property!”.to protest the stamp act and taxation without consent. The protest began with petitions, led to refusal to pay the tax , and eventually to property damage and harassment of officials. -
Tea Act
By reducing the tax on imported British tea, this act gave British merchants an unfair advantage in selling their tea in America. Many American colonists intended to boycott tea in protest of the act. The act also allowed the British East India Company to have a monopoly (complete control) on the tea trade there. The American colonists weren't allowed to buy tea from any other source.
