What rights where threatened by The Intolerable Acts and why did these acts lead colonists closer to revolution?

The Intolerable Acts, enacted in 1774, threatened several rights of the American colonists, including their right to self-governance, trial by jury, and freedom from arbitrary taxation. By punishing Massachusetts for the Boston Tea Party and restricting colonial autonomy, these acts galvanized colonial opposition and united disparate groups against British rule. The perceived violation of their rights and liberties fueled resentment and a desire for independence, ultimately pushing colonists closer to revolution. The acts served as a catalyst for coordinated resistance, exemplified by the formation of the First Continental Congress.

The events of 1776, particularly the Declaration of Independence, marked a significant shift towards self-government for the American colonists.

How did the Battle of Bunker Hill bring the colonists closer to independence?

The June 1775 Battle of Bunker Hill brought the American Colonies at least one step closer to independence in several ways. For one thing, it instilled confidence in the colonists that their forces could stand up to the legendarily stalwart British soldiers. For another thing, it hardened British resolve to refuse any concessions to the tentative rebellion; in turn, this steeled the Colonies to their cause, and the Revolutionary War soon escalated into full-fledged hostilities that resulted (after years of conflict) in a number of significant victories.
