Intolerable acts.
Explanation:
- Parliament responded by passing new laws that the colonies called coercive or unbearable. The first of them, the Boston Port Act, provided for that port to be closed until tea was paid - which could have completely destroyed the city because closing the outlet meant an economic downfall for Boston.
- Other laws restricted local government and prohibited convening city councils without the approval of the governor. The Massachusetts Government Act required the local authorities to provide adequate accommodation for British soldiers, where necessary and in private homes. Although Parliament's intention was to subjugate and isolate Massachusetts by these measures, the effect was reversed: other colonies felt encouraged to come to their aid.
- The Quebec Act, passed almost at the same time, extended the borders of the Quebec Province and guaranteed the right of the French population to religious freedom and their own laws. The colonists opposed because this law, ignoring old claims to the western territories, threatened to restrict them in the north and northwest by a province dominated by Catholics. even though the Quebec Act was not passed within the framework of punitive measures, Americans saw it as one of the Five intolerable Acts.
