Question

What happened as a result of the so-called Intolerable Acts?

Answer 1

I just had this question today =D! The answer is A. The port of Boston was closed.

Answer 2

In 1773, matters came to a head. To make a point, a group of colonials dressed themselves as Indians. In the deep of night, they crept aboard a British ship and dumped its cargo of tea into Boston harbor. This act, later called the Boston Tea Party, enraged King George III of England and the members of the British Parliament. Almost immediately, they passed a series of acts, which the colonists called Intolerable Acts. The following are some of the provisions of these acts:

• The port of Boston was closed.

• The power that had been partially restored to the colonial assemblies was cut off.

• British troops were to be quartered (housed) in private homes. (Imagine how you would feel if a foreign soldier forced you to sleep on the floor while he slept in your bed. The Intolerable Acts were called that for good reason.)

the answer is A. the port of boston was closed.
