The Intolerable Acts

you are all wrong you to school!!

The Intolerable Acts were designed as a response to the Boston Tea Party.

the Petition of Right

Because the British Parliament wanted to punish Bostonians for such things as doing the Boston Tea Party.

Eventually, yes. The Intolerable Acts led to the Revolutionary War, which in turn led to the creation and development of the Continental Navy.

There were laws passed that forced residents to house British soldiers in their private homes. Also, the Port of Boston was closed until the citizens paid for the 600,000 pounds of tea that were dumped into the harbor were paid for. However, it was only a small group of people that actually participated in the protest. The laws were created with the intention of punishing all of Boston, and making an example out of them.

The Intolerable Acts

They were written as a response to the Boston Tea Party, to punish the colonists for rebellious actions.

The acts were not ended

The colonists expected Great Britain to repeal the intolerable acts because the colonists said that they had no representatives in congress. Taxation without representation is unfair, they declared. The tea tax was the next tax put upon the colonists by the British....This, in turn, led to the Boston Tea Party.

The colonial merchants were mad at the tax. They raised their prices on their sugar so this also upset the colonists. The lost money for Britain upsetting the British.

Carbon dioxide and bicarbonate ions act as buffers in natural water bodies, helping to maintain a stable pH level. The carbonic acid-bicarbonate buffer system plays a key role in regulating the acidity of water in lakes, rivers, and oceans.

The Coercive Acts resulted in the closing of port of Boston, forced the colonists to house and feed British troops, and forbid public meetings unless sanctioned by the governor.

Parliament passed four acts in 1774 aimed specifically at what was seen as the hotbed of rebellion, Boston.

Parliament passed it because they were upset because of the Boston Tea Party.
The Boston Tea Party

When England closed Boston Harbor, they accidentally gave the colonists a way to meet. Other colonies brought supplies to Boston since nothing could be imported or exported. Thus the first Continental Congress resulted.

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 Coercive acts, also known as the Intolerable acts were 5 laws passed by the British Parliament in regards to the colonial defiance of the tea tax and the Boston Tea party. The first act closed the port of Boston. the second one said that British soldiers arrested for serious crimes against colonists would be returned back to England for trial. The third act reduced the power of the colony's local government and prohibited town meetings the fourth, known as the quarting acts, required the colonists to house and feed British troops when demanded to do so. finally, the Quebec act added Western territory to the North of the Ohio River to the province of Quebec... The colonists did not respond well to the acts, "intolerating them" and as a result, the first Continental congress was initiated.

intolerable acts were the name.

The acts were not ended
