angry and determined to be free of the British

Let's examine what the five acts that are known as the Intolerable Acts did.

The Quebec Act allowed the formerly French colony to keep Catholicism as its main religion. That had nothing to do with the Americans.

The Boston Port Act closed the port of Boston until the tea from the Tea Party had been paid for. That is actually perfectly reasonable. The tea wasn't owned by Britain, but by a private company which deserved to be paid for tea the colonists used. To make it more understandable, the colonists took the tea and failed to pay for it.

The Quartering Act requried the governor to put soldiers up in inhabitable government-owned buildings. That had nothing to do with the protests; it just reinforced earlier legislation that did the same time.

The Administration of Justice Act had everything to do with the protests. It allowed the governor to send trials of government officials to Canada or Britain if it appeared unlikely they would get a fair trial as afforded to every citizen due to the rebellious state of the colonists who could be selected as jurors. Although the soldiers involved in the Boston Massacre received fair trials gave many a reason to doubt the necessity, it is important to note that known Patriot John Adams was the main lawyer in those cases which probably swayed the vote.

The Massachusetts Government Act altered some government positions to make them by-appointment instead of by-election and limited. This did have to do with the protests and is the only one that could be considered over-reacting.

To sum it up: Only one could be considered over-reacting, three were sensible and one had nothing to do with others and is only included because it annoyed the colonists. And, because it seems a good idea to note, this is an analysis by an American from Massachusetts.

The patriots rebeled against kind George the second man hoph because of all of the rules he set. As in the sugar act stamp act , currency act, etc. He was very selfish and rude. He laid way to many laws and taxed way too many things.

The intolerable acts closed the prot of Boston, alllowed Britain to house troops anywhere, and allowed Britain to conquer even mor of the Americas.

the english were taxing the heck out of the american colony. we had enough and revolted. sure we threw some tea into the ocean, but remember, we became a free country after the war. remember, no taxation without representation!

The given name of the Intolerable Acts was the Coercive Acts. The colonists referred to them as the Intolerable Acts.

The Intolerable Acts were punitive laws passed by Parliament and meant to punish the colonies for the Boston Tea Party. The Acts took away self government and rights away from Massachusetts and enraged the colonists. As a result, the first Continental Congress was called to plan protests in 1774.

Parts of the townshend acts were repealed after the Boston massacre but the tax on tea was still in effect which eventually led to the Boston tea party

The four acts were passed by Parliament in 1774, and effectively ended with the outbreak of war on April 19, 1775, and conclusively when the 13 colonies declared independence on July 4, 1776.

On September 5, 1774, the First Continental Congress met, and the support of Massachusetts by the other colonies meant that they opened hostilities with the British forces shortly after the first battles of the Revolutionary War.

The Coercive Acts stated that Boston Harbor would be closed until all the tea dumped during the Boston Tea Party were fully paid for by the colonists; therefore, it deprived Boston of its water trade.

A direct result of the Intolerable Acts was a meeting of the First Continental Congress. The delegates voted to cut off colonial trade with Britain, unless they repealed the Intolerable Acts. They attempted to define the laws and ideals of the colonies, and voted to begin to train their citizens for the worst case scenario with Britain.

The American colonies refused to submit to the Intolerable Acts of 1774. The Continental Association was formed to boycott British goods, and the colonies pledged to support Massachusetts if they were occupied by the British. A plan to stop exports to Britain after a year was never implemented, because open warfare erupted at Concord and Lexington just five months later in April, 1775.
the Boston tea party
Colonists grew increasingly angry and began the Revolutionary War.
Americans from all colonies reacted by trying to help the people of Boston.

You seem a little confused. The British imposed the Intolerable Acts. The colonies responded by defying them.

the king's response to the Boston tea party. which was that the king closed the docks and no one could trade or get food.

The Intolerable Acts were a series of acts meant to punish Boston. This means that if Parliament can do this to one colony, it can do it to all the others. However, the act that really angered the colonists was the Quebec Act. It gave the right to self government to the French in Quebec and extended the territory (think of it, they just fought a war with the French about this!).

The colonists were outraged by the Intolerable Acts which the British Parliament tried to force on them. They reacted by refusing goods shipped over from Britain and the colonists acted out in a hostile manner.

Basically it was when Britten shut down places like Boston harbor until the colonists payed back the British for the french and Indian war. The British say colonists must pay them because the British protected them from the attack from the french and Indians but colonists believe that Britten joined the war for wealth and land that's the reason that Britten wanted the payment in the first place.

The Intolerable Acts led the colonists to place an embargo against Britain. The acts were a series of laws passed in 1774.

1. Shut down ports in Boston

2. Forced colomnists to hold their tries in Bririan

3. fobade colonists to hold town meetings

4. nO longer would red coats camp tents on Boston common

The Intolerable Acts consisted of 5 different acts: the Boston Port Act, which closed the port of Boston until the East India Company had been repaid for the tea lost in the Boston Tea Party and until the king was sure that order had been restored; The Massachusetts Government Act, which altered the Massachusetts government to bring it under control of the British government; The Administration of Justice Act, which allowed the governor to move trials of accused royal officials to another colony or even to England if he thought that the official could not get a fair trial in Massachusetts; the Quartering Act, which applied to all colonies, allowed British troops to be housed in American homes/buildings; and the Quebec Act, which enlarged the boundaries of the Province of Quebec and offended many groups in the colonies because it removed references to the Protestant faith in the oath of allegiance and gave freedom to practice the Roman Catholic faith.

Hopefully you can find at least 3 things in all that info! :)

Things were beginning to get out of hand, something had to be done to set the colonists straight and put the goverenment back in control.

Great Britain did respond to the colonists rebellions by increasing taxes and coming up with new laws so as to control them. When they noticed that the high taxes were not working, they decided to go into war with the colonists in the Revolution war.

They boycotted the British imports
