In February 1768 Samuel Adams helped to write the Massachusetts Circular Letter which was passed by the Massachusetts House of Representatives claiming that a previous British Colonial order the Townshend Acts were unconstitutional. This letter and colonial protest eventually led to the occupation of Boston by the British Army. 

On December 16, 1773, the Sons of Liberty (an American anti-British Group) boarded a ship from the British East India Company in Boston Harbor and destroyed the tea that was on board the ship. These was in defiance and in protest of the British Tea Act. This act increased taxation which the upset and anger groups of American colonists like the Sons of Liberty and pushed them into action. 

 When the British passed The Quartering Act, and the Stamp Act, the colonists did NOT submit to the British.

The Stamp Act was passed by the British Parliament on March 22, 1765. The new tax was imposed on all American colonists and required them to pay a tax on every piece of printed paper they used. Ship's papers, legal documents, licenses, newspapers, other publications, and even playing cards were taxed. The colonists called this act ''Taxation Without Representation'', because they had to saying in the new law.

 Quartering Act is a name given to two or more Acts of British Parliament requiring local governments of the American colonies to provide the British soldiers with housing and food. Of course, some of the colonists refused, and treated the soldiers badly.

All of this is correct, because I've been reading articles, and I'm currently reading some about these british Laws, for a journal entry. ( I'm a journalist).
