Question

What was the colonial name for laws that banned town meetings in new england?

Answer 1

The name for the laws that prohibited town meetings in New England was Intolerable Acts.

In 1774, Parliament ordered the Boston harbor to be closed until payment for the destroyed tea. Then, the Parliament passed the Massachusetts Governance Act to punish the rebel colony.

Explanation:

• The upper house of the Massachusetts Parliament would be named by the Crown, which was already the case with colonies such as New York and Virginia.
• The royal governor could appoint and remove at his will all judges, sheriffs and other executive officials and limit local meetings.
• Judges would be selected from sheriffs and British soldiers would be tried outside the colonies for alleged misconduct.
• All these have been called Intolerable Acts by the American Patriots.
