Modern IQ tests run off of a statistically normalized distribution. 100 is normal intelligence based on the average intelligence of the group. It also uses a spread of 15 per standard deviation (e.g. if someone is 2 standard deviations above the average, they have an IQ of 100 + 15*2=130; similarly, if someone is 2 standard deviations below the average, they have an IQ of 100 - 15*2=70).
The colonists were very <em>against </em>the Intolerable Acts. The laws were as a result of the Boston Tea Party and the boycotting of British goods. Many colonists thought the Intolerable Acts were disturbing their constitutional rights.
