The first were the Salem Witch Trials, which were significant because the legal system became more strict and efficient afterwards. The second was the Zenger Trial. It was significants because the right of freedom of the press was formed, and the Jury was given the ability to ignore the law and side with the defendant by saying he is not guilty.

The Tea Party takes its name from the Boston Tea Party, which happened in 1773 when a group of colonists rebelled against Britain and threw 350 chests of tea off into the Boston Harbor. That event and the Tea Party Movement today are both opposed to taxation and believe there should be less government spending.
