Answer:
The objective of the Sons of Liberty was to make the government repeal the Stamp Act which happened on March 18, 1766 . Their actions, violent or not, were aimed at intimidating officials and stamp distributors forcing them to resign. The group also put pressure on merchants who did not act in accordance with the non-importation agreement. The best work at undermining the Stamp Act was done by newspapers. Many members were printers and publishers who were directly affected by the new Stamp tax, it is remarkable that almost every newspaper in the colonies had daily reports of the activities of the Sons of Liberty and essays regarding the unconstitutionality of the Act.

Permit me to say a bit more about John Locke, the philosopher -- as important background to the American Revolution.
The American founding fathers read Locke (as well as other Enlightenment writers). The American Revolution (1775-1783) was inspired by ideas such as those of Locke. John Locke (1632-1704) argued for the idea of a "social contract." According to his view, a government's power to govern comes from the consent of the people themselves -- those who are to be governed. This was a change from the previous ideas of "divine right monarchy" -- that a king ruled because God appointed him to be the ruler. Locke repudiated the views of divine right monarchy in his<em> First Treatise on Civil Government.</em> In his <em>Second Treatise on Civil Government, </em>Locke argued for the rights of the people to create their own governments according to their own desires and for the sake of protecting their own life, liberty, and property.
