Explanation:

Dear so and so,

Many colonists and myself are outraged by these new "rules" you have placed upon us. Not only are British troops moving into our homes but they are taxing us on common goods such as imports of paper, paint, lead, glass, and tea. We already are struggling to make money with all of this fighting, and now we cannot return home to a nice cup of tea because it is so expensive. I demand more representation in Parliament for I cannot be the only one who thinks such of your laws.

civil disobedience, refusal to obey the demands or commands of a government or occupying power, without resorting to violence or active measures of opposition
