- The Tea Act of 1773
- Only the East India Company can sell tea to the colonies.
- Proclamation of 1763
- No settling past the colonies! Don't disturb the Indians!
- Agreed. We have the rights to land, and Britain just wants to be selfish.

- This act required all colonists to house and feed British soldiers for free.
- Sugar Act of 1764
- You can't search my ship!

- NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION! Britain does not know what we want. There is an entire ocean between us. That's the last straw. I've had enough. Its time to do something.
- Very much agreed. We're different from the Englishmen. We have different needs, and they do not know that, and they are not unfairly taxing those Englishmen, just us!
- Afraid that the colonists were smuggling items into the colonies, such as sugar, causing Britain to lose money, Britain passed a law that required all ships to be searched. The soldiers would need writs of assistance, a search warrant.

- A tax was imposed on all legal documents, playing cards, pamphlets, and newspapers.
- Tyranny it is not. You colonies owe Britain money for protecting you during the wars, you ungrateful people. These taxes are the fairest way to get them.
- Britain declared that they had as much right to tax the colonies as Britain itself.
- Britain has as much the right to tax the colonies as the mother land.
