Answer: The colonists had never accepted the constitutionality of the duty on tea, and the Tea Act rekindled their opposition to it. Their resistance culminated in the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773, in which colonists boarded East India Company ships and dumped their loads of tea overboard.

Answer:

Negatively

Step-by-step explanation:

It forced the colonists to buy tea from an insecure British Tea Company that basically granted them control of all tea trade routes.
