The Intolerable Acts

to keep the colonies in check

The american patriots name for a serious of punitive laws passed by the british parliament in 1774 after the boston tea party they were meant to punish the massachusetts colonists for their defince in throwing a large tea shipment into boston harbor

because it needs to oppose the stamp act

1345

the coercive acts were punishment for the people of Massachusetts for dumping over one million dollars worth of tea into the Boston harbor. they are also called the intolerable acts.

They halted trade with Britain.

In a breif explanation, the Boston Port Act punished all of Boston for the Boston Tea Party, thus it forced Boston to seek aid from the other colonies. Because of this is helped strengthen colonial unity and was another factor in sparking the upcoming revolution.

Since this is in the World War 2 category, you may mean: "Why didn't the USA join the second world war at the same time Britain did?" Answer: The American public did not want their sons to die in a European war that didn't seem to have anything to do with them.

If you meant : "Why did the thirteen colonies leave British rule at the time of the War of Independence." Answer: "They didn't think it was fair to be taxed by Britain but not have any say about it in Parliament."

After the so-called French and Indian war, the Stamp Act was introduced by Great Britain to help cover the cost of British soldiers being stationed in America. Great Britain thought this reasonable since the soldiers were there to protect the citizens living in the colonies.

Opposition against the Stamp act was not caused by its burden, since rates were not very high and most everyday citizens did not much use official "stamped" documents anyway. It was mostly a matter of principle, namely that of 'no taxation without representation (i.e. in the British Parliament) and/or the principle that raising taxes should be the exclusive right of the American States themselves.

A coercive force is a psychological pressure or threat used to manipulate someone's behavior. It involves the use of fear, intimidation, or force to make someone comply with certain demands or expectations. It can be detrimental to relationships and often leads to feelings of resentment or resistance.

If someone acts asinine at a formal event we might consider the behavior embarrassing.

the captor uses force and intimidation in combination with two or more methods.

it is the term used for the beginning of the British revolution where king Henry the II over taxed the British poeple

many people felt that the king was taxing people too much

1675 people lead a protest that eventual won the pope's favor

the pope helped win the king of so as to keep more money for the church

king signs the bill of English rights

regardless of rights people are sill bias

many other non-Cristian religions are shunned

the two treaties of civil government by John Lock inspire many

people decide to go to America to escape the king power of them

the defiance of the colonies towards taxes later lead to the stamp act

What was taxed was wine,indigo,tea,sugar,and paper. I hope that answers your question!

The Intolerable Acts were a series of laws passed by the British Government aimed at the Colonies, Massachusetts in particular, to let them know that their protests would not be tolerated. It was a thing, not a person. The Acts were passed into law in April of 1774. There were four main Intolerable Acts:

1. The Boston Port Act, which closed the port of Boston. This was in order to punish the people of Boston for the Boston Tea Party, which occurred on December 16, 1773. The port was to be closed until reparations had been made to the East India Tea Company, which owned the tea and the boats that were a part of the Boston Tea Party. The King of England also had to be satisfied that the people involved had learned their lesson and order had been restored. This would be at the determination of the Governor and the King's representatives, of course.

2. The Massachusetts Government Act, which ordered that all government positions in Massachusetts were to be appointed by the English Governor or the King. This meant that the British Parliament completely controlled every bit of the government of the colony. It also severely limited what Town Meetings in the colony were allowed to do.

3. The Administration of Justice Act, which allowed the Governor of Massachusetts to move the trials of accused British officials to another colony or to England itself. This meant that British officials could harass or do almost anything to a colonist and if charges were brought against the British person and it went to a trial, the witnesses would have to travel to another colony or to England if that was where the trial was to be held. The Act did stipulate that the travel expenses would be paid for. But few people could afford to take the time off of work to travel to another colony or to England for the length of the trial. This basically allowed a British person or official to do anything they wanted, including murder, and escape justice.

4. The Quartering Act. This allowed the British Governors of every colony to house soldiers in any vacant building, if the colonies did not provide proper housing for the troops. The idea that troops were allowed to be quartered in private homes is not true. The colonies were required to provide proper quarters for the British troops. But if they did not, then the Governors could place the troops in any building that was empty. Obviously, the colonialists did not go out of their way to provide proper quarters for British Troops. So this Act was passed to find a place to put British Troops that would be needed to put down a revolt or outbreak of protest. This basically meant that the colonies had to pay for their own occupying army (thru taxes) and put them up at the colonies' expense.

yes

They were introduced into Parliament in 1774 . Sorry , I don't know the EXACT day , hour , minute , second , tenth of a second , hundredths of a second .................

Did that help?

The Intolerable Acts are also known as the Coercive Acts because the colonists felt they were passed to punish the people of Boston for the Boston Tea Party and to force them to do something they did not want to do. They were a series of Acts passed by Parliament; one closed the Port of Boston until the Tea was paid for; a new governor was empowered to transfer trials of British officials and soldiers out of the colony and to Great Britain, even those accused of killing colonists; the colony of Massachusetts had its entire structure of government overhauled and the elected bodies lost their powers. The colony became a Royal Colony in fact; a new Quatering Act required the citizens of Boston to find room and board for the Redcoats stationed in Boston, even if it meant housing soldiers in private homes; The Quebec Act, while not really intended to be part of the Intolerable Acts, recognized the French in Quebec and extended the boudary of that provice into the Ohio River Valley, cutting off westward expansion by the American colonists.

There were 5 Intolerable (AKA Coercive) Acts:

Boston Port Act--closed port of Boston until colonists paid East India Company back for the lost tea

Massachusetts Government Act--brought government of Massachusetts under British rule, stationed British governor in Massachusetts, limited town meetings to one per year

Administration of Justice Act--gave accused British officers the right to move the trial to their home country (England)

Quartering Act--forced colonists to open their homes to British soldiers and feed and house them for an indefinite amount of time

Quebec Act--not related to Boston Tea Party, and therefore sometimes exclused from list of Coercive Acts; enlarged "Province of Quebec" and let people freely practice Roman Catholicism

The Navigation Acts were a series of laws enacted by the English Parliament in the 17th century aimed at regulating colonial trade and enabling England to collect taxes from its colonies. They mandated that certain goods produced in the colonies could only be shipped to England or English territories, thereby restricting trade with other nations. This legislation was designed to bolster the English economy and maintain control over colonial commerce, leading to increased tensions between England and its colonies, particularly in the run-up to the American Revolution.

They punished them by shutting down the port of Boston not allowing ships to leave or entering the harbor and until the colonists paid for the the tea they had destroyed in the Boston tea party.

Basically this act didn't really do anything. The British government told the east inda company to go sell all its tea(that was sitting there)to the americas. Americans saw this as a way to help support the taxes that where already in place on tea. This all help lead up to the Boston tea party.
