Answer:

The technical name is overcorrection.

Explanation:

Overcorrection is a type of punishment applied to modify an unwanted behavior. In the case mentioned in the question, we have what is called restitutional overcorrection. The person who has performed the unwanted behavior is asked to restore things not to their original state, but to an improved state. Imagine a student draws an explicit picture on a blackboard at school. If he is asked to erase not only that board, but all the boards in the school as punishment, that is restitutional overcorrection. It is exactly what happened to the woman. She was not only asked to restore the ward, but to restore it better and cleaner than before.

Ideas for a proposal about the intolerable acts
aev [14]

Intolerable acts such as Boston tea party act, Administering justice act, Massachusetts act and Quartering acts were passed by the British crown which  repressed the American colonies who were not given enough representation in the parliament.

Explanation:

English East India company was ailing financially and hence to gain stability, it started to persuade the colonists to buy tea which was high in price. The colonists could not afford to pay such a heavy price and hence they bought the local dutch tea leaves. British also started to inflict some small and secret taxes. The local merchants in the american colonies got annoyed as Britain is trying to give a tough competition forcing the people to buy the British tea leaves. All colonies refused to accept the East India Tea and Boston gave a tough defiance. Boston patriots came in the guise of the Native American Indians and toppled more than three hundred chests of tea leaves into the sea and the Boston ports were closed for trade.

Following this, administering justice act which gave authority to the British officers to imprison and give death penalty to the colonists who seemed to not obey the crown and pay taxes. Massachusetts act gave Britain full authority over Massachusetts Government which was considered to be bitter by the Natives who lived there. Finally, quartering act insisted the colonists to give free accommodation, lodging and food to the British soldiers in their residence which was considered to be atrocious. Annoyed colonists, plunged into protests desiring secession from homeland.
