Explanation:

To favor the East India Company, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, the British government granted the company a monopoly on the sale of tea to the American colonies. The settlers had the same British tea habit.  As in England, the price of the drink was falling, making it increasingly popular. With the monopoly of tea supply in the hands of a company, prices would naturally rise. The reaction of the settlers to the law was at least original.

First, the population sought to replace tea with coffee and chocolate to escape the monopoly. Also, on the night of December 16, 1773, 150 undercover settlers of Indians attacked 3 ships in Boston Harbor and threw tea overboard. It was the Boston Tea Party. About 340 boxes of tea were hurled overboard.

The reaction of the English Parliament was strong. Several laws were enacted that Americans have come to call it "intolerable acts." The best known of them prohibited Boston Harbor until the damage caused by settlers. The Massachusetts colony was transformed into a royal colony, which lent great powers to its governor. The right to meetings was restricted. England showed that it would not tolerate opposition to its laws. Instead of the expected submission of the colonies, England succeeding with these measures only encourage the independence process.
