Question

Which of the following was enacted in order to punish the colonists of

Answer 1

Answer:

The Intolerable Acts.

Explanation:

The Intolerable Acts were the laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774 with the aim of punishing the colonists for their revolutionary acts (such as the Boston Tea Party), as well as attempting to display a power that would deter the colonists from initiating new actions (which did not work, as these laws instigated even larger uprisings by the settlers).

The Intolerable Acts closed Boston Harbor to trade, deprived Massachusetts of its right to self-determination and other ancient privileges, and limited the rights of settlers to exercise their political and economic freedoms, sparking protests and resistance, contributing to the War of Independence, which broke out in 1775.
