https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/36bi31sefy85se0u You are a member of a colonial legislature and a Bostonian. You have received news that the Parliament has passed the Tea Act, lowering the tax on tea. Sounds good right? Well.....the colonies still do not have representatives in Parliament to discuss and vote on laws that affect the colonies directly. Also, the Tea Act gives the East India Company control over the tea trade; some colonial merchants don't like this at all. What will you recommend to your fellow colonists? The choices include the following: Send petitions to Parliament demanding that the Tea Act be repealed. Organize mobs to destroy the tea and other property of the British East India Company. Organize a boycott of British tea. Organize a boycott of British goods in general. Don’t protest and don’t boycott. Buy the tea and pay the tax. Decide upon and rank your top two choices and “last resort” choice (1, 2, last resort). en-us 2020-11-12 20:54:20 UTC 2020-12-04 19:10:59 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/2615.png 3027210 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/36bi31sefy85se0u/wish/957972520 i feel that taxing tea is like taxing your own life there shouldn't be a taxes so big for tea if its the thing we all use most all the government want is an extra money  in there pocket  i think that we should protest and not buy the tea that they are selling so that they have a reason why to bring the taxes back down so i would boycott and protest and make a petition]]> 2020-11-24 21:44:00 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/36bi31sefy85se0u/wish/957972520 3027427 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/36bi31sefy85se0u/wish/959322571 At first it would be best to orginize a boycott.
