Question

why was the boston tea party seen as an act of rebellion? it was a protest that included the illegal dumping of a shipment of goods. it was a violent clash that led to the death of colonists at the hands of british troops. it was a series of protests that harmed british trade and led to the repeal of the stamp act. it was a sizable cancellation of tea orders to boycott the shipment of british tea into the colonies.

Explanation:

The Boston Tea Party involved colonists illegally dumping British - owned tea into Boston Harbor as a protest against British taxation policies. This was an act of defiance against British authority. The other options are incorrect as it was not a violent clash resulting in colonist deaths (that was the Boston Massacre), the Stamp Act was already repealed before the Tea Party, and it was not a cancellation of tea orders but actual destruction of tea on the ships.

Answer:

It was a protest that included the illegal dumping of a shipment of goods.
