Answer:

Punish Boston

Step-by-step explanation:

The Intolerable Acts [aka Coercive Acts] were a result of the Boston Tea Party, which happened because English colonists were furious with Parliament's taxes, and threw hundreds and hundreds of barrels of tea overboard British ships and into the sea, while dressed as Indians.

The Intolerable/Coercive Acts were passed in order to punish colonists.
