The use of mass communication to speak to american citizens.
<em>B. To discuss trade problems among the states.</em>
Explanation:
The Annapolis Convention was the meeting where five states met and talked about the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation was very weak and gave no power to the national government, this made it so they couldn't enforce laws, tax citizens, or regulate trade. Colonists thought this would be good at first, as they were scared the government would abuse power just like Great Britain did to them, but there were major problems. The Annapolis Convention was about trade issues that were abundant due to the Articles of Confederation, trade was not being regulated properly among the states due to the weak national government.
The historical significance of the Boston Tea Party is recognized more in the British response than in the event itself. As a result of the Boston Tea Party, Parliament passed the following laws designed to punish the Americans.
1.) The Boston Harbor Bill – This bill closed the harbor to all commercial traffic until Bostonians paid for the tea they dumped.
2.) The Administration of Justice Act – This act required the extradition (transfer) of all royal officials charged with capital crimes in America to courts in Great Britain.
3.) Massachusetts Government Act – This act ended self-rule in the colonies and made all elected officers in America subject to British appointment.
4.) Quartering Act – This was simply a new version of the 1765 Quartering Act which required Americans to provide accommodations (housing , food, clothing etc.) to British soldiers if necessary.
5.) Quebec Act – This act extended the Canadian border (British territory) into the Ohio River Valley and eliminated lands that were claimed by Massachusetts, Virginia and Connecticut.
These acts were called the Intolerable Acts in America and resulted in the formation of the Continental Congress.
