The Boston Tea Party was an act of protest by the American colonists against Britain and "taxation without representation." Although this form of taxation was a violation of their rights, this method of protest was ill-suited to resolve said violations. The poor strategic choices of participants of the Boston Tea Party are not exemplative of the liberty that colonists claim they wish to achieve and further similar acts may provoke the Crown, resulting in dire consequences. Colonists who desire prevention of future perceived infringement on their basic civil liberties must protest in a manner appropriate to their demands, as opposed to the uncivil disobedience observed in the Boston Tea Party.
