What is the set of four laws created to punish the Massachusetts colony for the Boston tea party?
In response to the Boston Tea Party, the British Parliament passed the "Coercive Acts", also known as the "Intolerable Acts", in 1774. There were actually five laws, but only four of them were related to the Boston Tea Party:
- The Boston Port Act closed the port of Boston until the East India Tea Company was repaid for the destroyed cargo.
- The Massachusetts Government Act dictated that virtually all positions in the colonial government would be appointed by the governor or the King, eliminating many elected offices.
- The Administration of Justice Act gave the governor the power to move trials of government officials to another colony if he thought they could not get a fair trial in Massachusetts.
- The Quartering Act allowed the governors of all the colonies the power to house soldiers in unoccupied buildings, without the consent of the owners.
To the best of my knowledge, the East India Tea Company was never repaid.
