Parliament wanted to punish Bostonians
The Parliament passed the Coercive Acts in response to the Boston Tea Party, which they considered an act of rebellion against British authority. The purpose of these acts was to punish and assert control over the colony of Massachusetts, and to serve as a warning to other colonies. The British government hoped that by imposing these harsh measures, it would discourage further resistance and assert their authority over the colonies.
To punish Bostontonians (people from Boston) for the Boston Tea Party during the pre-revolutionary period
The British Parliament passed the Intolerable Acts in 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party, where American colonists protested against British taxation by dumping tea into Boston Harbor. The Acts aimed to punish Massachusetts for this act of defiance, restore order, and assert British authority over the colonies. They included measures such as closing Boston Harbor and revoking Massachusetts' charter, which further inflamed tensions and united the colonies against British rule. Ultimately, the Intolerable Acts contributed to the growing desire for independence among the colonists.
