Answer 4

Taxation without representation!

Answer 5

They had been pushed to the brink. The taxation without representation was the straw that brok the camel's back. Then a group of punks went out, disguised as Native Americans, and dumped the tea. No commodities, no taxes on those commodities. And that sparked the revolution, and you know what happened from there.

Answer 6

The colonists wanted freedom from the British throne, since the King was a bit of a tyrant.  This was the main reason for the American Revolution; though I think it was silly of them to waste all that perfectly good tea.
