Answer: The act’s main purpose was not to raise revenue from the colonies but to bail out the floundering East India Company, a key actor in the British economy. The British government granted the company a monopoly on the importation and sale of tea in the colonies. The colonists had never accepted the constitutionality of the duty on tea, and the Tea Act rekindled their opposition to it.

Answer:

c. To help support the financially troubled British East India Company.

Explanation:

England was struggling and their tea company was too. At this point in time, almost all Americans drank tea, so the King decided they should make it so America could only buy from the British East India Company. England "believed" (or pretended to) they were also helping America since their prices were lower than others. This, however, did not comfort the Americans who wanted to have the right to pick their tea.

oksano4ka [1.4K]

<span>The author, Ron Chernow, presents Hamilton as an overly ambitious man but his ambitions were motivated not by egocentric deeds but by passion and determination to build the foundations of American success and prosperity. Clearly, his actions were influenced by ambition and not by principle. This is expressed in one example as written by Chernow, “To repudiate his legacy.” Another is “in many ways, to repudiate the modern world.” </span>
