Coercive acts
The Coercive Acts of 1774, also known as the Intolerable Acts, were a series of laws passed by the British Parliament in response to the Boston Tea Party. They included the Boston Port Act, which closed Boston Harbor until the tea was paid for, the Massachusetts Government Act, which limited town meetings and altered the Massachusetts charter, the Administration of Justice Act, allowing royal officials to be tried in Britain for crimes, and the Quartering Act, which required colonists to house British troops. These measures aimed to suppress colonial resistance but instead galvanized opposition and contributed to the American Revolution.
The Intolerable Acts, also known as the Coercive Acts, were a series of laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party. They were designed to punish the colonists in Massachusetts and assert British authority. The acts closed the Boston port, restricted town meetings, allowed British officials to be tried in England, and expanded Quartering Act powers. The goal was to force the colonists to pay for the destruction of the tea and to stop them from smuggling goods.
The Coercive Acts, also known as the Intolerable Acts, were passed in response to the Boston Tea Party of December 1773. This protest against British taxation led colonists to dump a large shipment of tea into Boston Harbor, prompting the British government to impose punitive measures to restore order and assert control over the colonies. The acts aimed to punish Massachusetts and suppress colonial resistance, ultimately escalating tensions between Britain and the American colonies.
The British further angered American colonists with the Quartering Act, which required the colonies to provide barracks and supplies to British troops. The Quartering Act was passed in June 2, 1765, against the wishes of the colonist. The Quartering Act was an indirect tax for the colonist. Under the law, the colonist had to give quarters, food, and transportation to the British soldiers. The British forced the colonist to accept it because they were protecting the colonists from the French. The colonists did not consider the French a threat and did not like the idea of paying for the British protection.
