What happened as a result of the so-called Intolerable Acts?

<span>The Intolerable Acts not only attacked the economic rights of people in the Massachusetts colony, but also removed their system of self-rule and representative government. The Intolerable Acts closed the port of Boston to imports and exports, appointed a military governor, barred town meetings, and prevented the election of local officials and the selection of jurors. Although colonists viewed earlier tax acts and acts to control trade as unconstitutional, this act actually deprived them of their civil rights. The Magna Carta and British Bill of Rights of 1689 indicate that the King is not above the law, and that certain civil rights are granted to British subjects to ensure that the King does not become to powerful. Among these rights are the right to trial by a jury of one's peers, and the power of taxation resting in the hands of an elected body. Both of these rights were removed with the tax act. The colonists had no form of economic or political defense against the King's absolute rule in Massachusetts.</span>

What is slowed when water is a limiting factor in an environment?
Mila [183]
The most probable answer between these three for this problem would be B. Population growth.

Though the types of rocks are also affected when water is a limiting factor, there would only be other types of rocks that would arise which takes into account that water is a limiting factor. The amount of evaporation, on the other hand, would also be affected. The population growth, however, would be greatly affected that it would be slowed down since population growth greatly depends on the essentials of maintaining life where water lies as one of the main factors of promoting life. When water is a limiting factor, population growth would surely decrease and is slowed down.

Sveta_85 [38]
<span>The looking glass-self is a term coined by Charles Horton Cooley to refer to the process by which our self develops through internalizing others' reactions to us. This means that a person's self grows out of a person´s social interactions with others, which explains the teacher's behavior when they witnessed Phoebe's harassment.</span>
