<span>B. the Intolerable Acts </span> The Intolerable Acts were the American Patriots' term for a series of punitive laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774 after the Boston Tea party. They were meant to punish the Massachusetts colonists for their defiance in throwing a large tea shipment into Boston harbor.
They wanted King William and Queen Mary to accept the bill of rights so that the people would be more in control of the government and have rights. Another reason is so that a future monarch could not rule cruelly over the people. The bill of rights kept the monarch in check.
