2.Provide examples in American history when people protested that the government was interfering with their liberties.

The Boston Tea Party was the first significant act of rebellion by American colonist against the British. For years, colonists were unfairly taxed by the British government without representation in Parliament, and the Tea Act of 1773, which granted a monopoly and tax exemption to the British East Indian Company, was the final straw that caused American opposition.

Sixty men lead by the Sons of Liberty disguised themselves as Native Americans on Dec. 16, 1773, and threw 342 chests – 92,000 pounds – of tea into Boston Harbor. The protest was met with punishment from the British as Parliament passed punitive measures, such as closing Boston’s port until the debt from the Boston Tea Party was paid, and housing British troops in American homes, through the Intolerable Acts that aimed to target Massachusetts and divide the other colonies. Instead, it sparked the First Continental Congress in 1774 and led to the American Revolution, which began in Massachusetts in 1775 and ended in 1783 when the British formally recognized U.S. independence.
