The Boston Tea Party was a protest against The Tea Act in 1773, which was an act that helped the East India Company (a British tea company) that had fallen into debt. The act allowed The East India Company to ship its goods directly to its own agents in America without letting the colonist trade the tea. The colonists felt that this was unfair to the merchants and wholesalers who had been selling tea as their trade. The punitive acts that the British Parliament had been enforcing were nicknamed ''The Intolerable Acts'' by the Colonist after they had been punished for protesing for their rights.

B: The Federal Government needs to respond quickly.

Congress needs to go through a long and careful process to get things done, not to mention them needing to have the majority of congress agree.

The president/executive branch of the government is made up of much less people, as well as the president himself being commander and chief of the military.

Time is very important during a national emergency, and the president can get things done quickly.

Hope this helps.
