The Intolerable Acts

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 The delegates voted to cut off colonial trade with Britain, unless they repealed the Intolerable Acts.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

There were different intolerable acts, such as the tea act which caused the colonies not to buy British tea because they boycotted it. The British made the tax act too which caused the colonies to pay more taxes to the British.

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.

the event that led up to the intolerable acts was the Boston tea party.

1) the Boston Port Act: closed the ports of the Boston Harbor until the value of the destroyed tea was reimbursed

2) the Massachusetts Government Act: declared that members of the Massachusetts Council would be appointed by the Governor, not elected by the Assembly. Also, town meetings could take place only with the Governor's permission. This act gave the governor full power to appoint local officials and the judiciary, and decreed that in the future, juries would be appointed by the sheriffs, not elected.

3) the Impartial Administration of Justice Act: British official accused of committing crimes be tried not in Massachusetts but in another colony or in England.

4) Quebec Act: gave Canada's Catholics civil equality and guaranteed religious tolerance. It also gave the French vast territories west of the Appalachians. The colonists saw this as an attempt to renew their battles with both the French and the Indians.

Since the colonists hated the townshed acts, they obviously tortured the loyalists working with the law. They buried them alive, boycotted, protested and took things to violent measures. Of course, the loyalists felt scared.

The result from the intolerable acts was the meeting of the Second Continental Congress, the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, the naming of General George Washington as commander for the American Army, The American Revolutionary War, and the new nation of the United States of America.

The Intolerable Acts were attempts to levy direct taxes on Americans. The tax collectors paid for their jobs. The tax collectors attempted to collect many times the official amount of the tax. The Americans considered that intolerable. The tax collectors were given the right to enter houses and take what they wanted.

Actually, in order to understand the intolerable acts, you need to read the Constitution of the United States including the first 10 amendments. The rights granted there were not some wild theory. They were things the King wad doing to the colonists. Thus, when you read the prohibition against ex post facto legislation, that is what the King was doing. When you read about trials without a jury, without the defendant knowing the charges, without the defendant knowing who is testifying against him, and where the defendant does not have a lawyer, you understand the intolerable act. When you read about a legislator being arrested on the floor of congress for his opposition to a bill, that is there due to the intolerable acts.

The British Solders came out of the prisons. They were given a choice between joining the army and hanging. They were quartered in American homes. They frequently raped the women. The women did not like that.

The Revolution really got going when the British burned the towns of Charleston, Massachusetts, Norfolk, Virginia, and Elizabeth, North Carolina and Raped the women there. The Americans had enough.

Colonists could only trade with England.....(:

Type your answer here... because many of them sated that they had to pay taxes on unreasonable things such as paper

Laws passed by Great Britain because of the Boston Tea Party.

The intolerable acts was a set of laws imposed by the British for the Boston Tea Party. There were four laws. One was that no one could leave Boston until they payed for all 250 chests of tea they dumped. the second was that British soldiers could camp out in any house. the other two i forgot. lol!

Also called the Coercive Acts, the Intolerable Acts raised revenue and helped Britain gain more control over the Colonies, while, at the same time, outraging them.

Actually I have just learned about the Intolerable Acts and there were only three, a new British general took over Boston, you had to allow British soldiers to live in your house, and the Boston Harbor was closed.
