Constitutional Connection
Article 1, The Legislative Branch, Section 8
"The Congress has the right to lay & collect taxes"
Explanation
In this political cartoon it shows the Boston Tea Party. It took place in Boston, Massachesetts. Officials in Boston refused to return 3 shiploads of taxed tea to Britain. People rebelled & dumped the tea into the Boston Harbor. They did'nt feel the tax should have been raised & rebelled. There was nearly 60,000 pounds of tea aboard the three ships.
I feel that this act was really brave because they stood up for what they believed. Even though they could have gotten in a lot of trouble they still rebelled. They had faith in their people & their decisions. This has went down as one of the most historic moments in history.It is still being talked about to this day.
