What year was the coercive act passed?

Answer 1

The Intolerable Acts are the same thing as the Coercive Acts. The acts were passed in 1774 to punish the American colonists because of the Boston Tea Party. It included a Port Bill, which meant that all the ports were closed until the tea was repaid, the Government Act- a revoked charter of the Massachussetts colony, Administration of Justice Act- all court cases had to be held outside of Boston, and the New Quartering Act- colonists had to provide adequate housing and provisions for the British troops.

Answer 2

The Intolerable Acts or the Coercive Acts are names used to describe a series of laws passed by the Parliament of Great Britain in 1774 relating to British America.

The acts triggered outrage and resistance in the Thirteen Colonies that later became the United States, and were important developments in the growth of the American Revolution.

Four of the acts were issued in direct response to the Boston Tea Party of December 1773; the British Parliament hoped these punitive measures would, by making an example of The Province of Massachusetts Bay, reverse the trend of colonial resistance to parliamentary authority that had begun with the Stamp Act 1765.

A fifth act, the Quebec Act, enlarged the boundaries of what was then the Province of Quebec and instituted reforms generally favorable to the French Catholic inhabitants of the region.

Many colonists viewed the acts as an arbitrary violation of their rights, and in 1774 they organized the First Continental Congress to coordinate a protest.

As tensions escalated, the American Revolutionary War broke out the following year, eventually leading to the creation of an independent United States of America.
