The Coercive Acts, passed in 1774, were designed to punish the Bostonians by closing the port until they paid for the tea they destroyed. These acts also took away Massachusetts's charter as a colony and made it harder to punish anyone in England's royal offices of crime. The Quebec Act of that same year took away colonial land and was one of the main causes of the Revolutionary War.
