Okay so, think of it like this. The Boston Tea party, where the government taxed tea and the people rioted, it’s one of the things that brought the rebellion into motion.

Answer:

Taxation helped reduce foreign importation

Step-by-step explanation:

great Britain taxed the colonies, including the future USA on all goods, which helped the British economy flourish. They also placed heavier taxes on items outside of Great Britain's control, making the colonies rely on Great Britain for supplies and goods.
