Question

British parliament passed a series of acts

Answer 1

Following the Boston tea party

Answer 2

In 1773, matters came to a head. To make a point, a group of colonials dressed themselves as Indians. In the deep of night, they crept aboard a British ship and dumped its cargo of tea into Boston harbor. This act, later called the Boston Tea Party, enraged King George III of England and the members of the British Parliament. Almost immediately, they passed a series of acts, which the colonists called Intolerable Acts.
