The Intolerable Acts were punitive laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774 after the Boston Tea Party. The laws were meant to punish the Massachusetts colonists for their defiance in the Tea Party protest in reaction to changes in taxation by the British Government. In Great Britain, these laws were referred to as the Coercive Acts.
Ships carrying food and other goods were prevented from arriving; town meetings were banned; and citizens were forced to house British soldiers. source: history textbook !!
The Coercive Acts, also known as the Intolerable Acts, had severe effects on the citizens of Boston. These laws closed Boston Harbor, crippling trade and local economy, and imposed strict regulations on town meetings, limiting self-governance. Additionally, British troops were stationed in homes, which heightened tensions and resentment among the populace. Overall, these measures intensified the colonists' anger towards British rule and contributed to the growing movement for independence.
In the 2004 case Hamdi vs. Rumsfield the Supreme Court held that citizens accused of terrorist acts are entitled to constitutional protections. Hamdi, a US citizen was captured in Afghanistan and turned over to the US military. He was classified as a enemy combatant.
The Boston Tea Party was the action of the patriotic citizens of America who dumped tea that was imported into Boston harbor. this action greatly angered Parliament, and they decided that it would only be best if they punished the citizens/subjects and showed them who's boss. hope that helped! :)
