After the Boston Tea Party occurred, Parliament passed several laws to make sure an event never occurred like that again. One of these laws was banning ships from being loaded and unloaded in Boston's Harbors.

Answer: As a response, Parliament passed, four acts that galvanized colonial resistance, also called Coercive acts.

Step-by-step explanation:

They passed a group of harsh measurements called Coercive Acts to punish rebellious Boston and isolate it from the other colonies, they were: The Boston Port Act, a new Quartering Act, the Massachusetts Government Act, and the Quebec Act. Those acts forced the Boston Tea Party to pay for the tea, rejected colonial trials of British soldiers, forced their quartering in private homes and finally boosted the Revolutionary war for independence.
