Question

Why did parliament pass the coercive acts

Answer 1

Answer:

After the Boston massacre, the protests did not stop in the city. An organized group of radicals, disguised as indigenous, assaulted ships loaded with tea and threw the product into the sea, this assault was known as "the Boston tea party."
