Tea Party Movement

The Tea Party Movement emerged in the United States around 2009, primarily as a response to perceived government overreach and high taxes. Inspired by historical events like the Boston Tea Party, the movement advocates for limited government, lower taxes, and a strict interpretation of the Constitution. It gained prominence among conservative voters and influenced American politics, particularly within the Republican Party. The movement is characterized by grassroots organizing, rallies, and a focus on fiscal conservatism, appealing to those who believe in personal responsibility and reduced federal intervention in citizens' lives.
