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! :)
