How do the sons of liberty explains Britain motivations for passing the tea act?

The Sons of Liberty argued that Britain’s motivations for passing the Tea Act were primarily to assert its control over the American colonies and to bail out the struggling British East India Company. They believed the Act was a tactic to establish a monopoly on tea sales, undermining colonial merchants and further entrenching British authority. This move was seen as an attempt to enforce taxation without representation, fueling colonial resentment and resistance against British rule. Ultimately, the Sons of Liberty viewed the Tea Act as a direct threat to their rights and liberties.
