A Definition of Tea Party
Definition: In American political discourse, "Tea Party" is a term that has become synonymous with "protest." The name is derived from the protest in 1773, in which Boston colonists protested the British government's Tea Act by boarding a ship bound for England and pitching crates of its taxed tea cargo into Boston Harbor. The colonists' complaint was that they were being unduly taxed without any representation in British parliament.
