The British passed new taxes despite opposition because they needed the money. They lost over one million dollars worth of tea in the Boston Tea Party which was the last straw for them. They passed four new laws that were intended to punish Massachusetts and put an end to colonial changes to British authority. These laws were called The Boston Port Act, The Massachusetts Government Act, The Administration of Justice Act, and the Quartering Act.

The Boston Tea Party and the Coercive Acts made the colonist become very upset towards the British. During this time period, the British became very strict and demanding. This gave the colonist the crave to get revenge. The Coercive Acts was a punishment to the colonists but helped form the Continental Congress.

Hope this helps! :)

How much did the government regulate business practices during the gilded age?
viva [34]
A law was passed in 1890 called the Sherman Act under Harrison presidency, yet it did not lead to the breaking up of cartels and monopolies. The Gilded Age(1877-1900) was followed by the Progressive Era which saw some effort to regulate big business practices despite the fact that some scholars for instance contest this vision and claim that the regulation put forward by Theodore Roosevelt actually strengthened cartels.

trasher [3.6K]

<span>A good side of the short term is that those who are representing will have more focus on the work they are responsible for and will not lose motivation. Another aspect I that with the shorter term more people will have the opportunity to participate in administration bringing out new ideas and innovations competing and trying to show the best in the time. A negative side is that sometime someone can commit mistake which they want to rectify but cannot due to short term which can be a plus point for long term. </span>
