colonists receive unwanted consecuences for their behaviour

Maria Guevara :)

As a consequence of the tea party, the harbors were closed. They were not to be opened until the tea that was thrown would be paid; this was the Boston port act.

The king sent more troops and war ships to the colonies.

The intolerable acts also known as coercive acts, was the name given by the colonists to the laws passed by the parliament to punish the colonists for the Boston tea party and to tighten the control over the colonies.


Administration of justice act: in which the soldier who committed a crime would receive his respective judgement on England and not in the colonies.

Massachusetts government act: in Massachusetts they w

ere not allowed to have their own government. They could not have town meetings nor own laws.


The quartering act of 1774: parliament forced the colonists to house their troops. And they could take over the house if it was necessary.


Quebec act: parliament made a law to extend the lower border south to the Ohio River and grant religious freedom to French Roman Catholics.
