6 The Tea Act of 1773 Directions: Work with your partner and read through this brief summary of the Tea Act of Once you have finished the reading, complete the Vocabulary you should know section and the questions in the drawing conclusions section. The Tea Act of 1773 was a law passed by King George III of England that gave a monopoly or an exclusive possession or control of the supply or trade in a commodity or service, on tea sales to the British East India Company, a company created by Queen Elizabeth I for trade with Asia,. In other words, American colonists could not buy tea From any other company but the British East India Company. Why? Well, the British East India Company wasn t doing so well, and the British wanted to give it some more business. The Tea Act of 1773 lowered the price on the tea from the British East India Company so much that it was way below tea from other suppliers and cheaper to buy. However, the American colonists saw the Tea Act of 1773 as law as yet another means of taxing them without letting them be a part of the British government or taxation without representation. It also meant that the colonists 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.
