Original Note:
In 1773, the 13 Colonies were part of the British Empire - not a nation. Tariffs are applied to goods flowing in or out of nation. The tax on tea was protested as “taxation without representation” since the colonists were taxed by a government in which they had no say. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Tea_Party
