Answer:

Parliament passed the Coercive Acts to punish colonists for the Boston Tea Party.

Explanation:

The Coercive Acts, as called by the British, or Intolerable Acts, as called by the Americans, were the laws issued in 1774 by the British Parliament due to the continuing discontent in the Thirteen American Colonies, particularly in New England after turbulent incidents such as the Boston Tea Party.

By means of these laws, the King and the Parliament intended to stop the growing resistance movement in the colonies. However, these measures only aggravated the situation, since the colonists considered them a despotic violation of their rights. Therefore, these acts accelerated the processes that culminated in the American Revolutionary War and the formation of the First Continental Congress.
