Final answer:
The Boston Tea Party led to severe punitive measures from the British Parliament, most notably the Coercive Acts which included the closure of the port of Boston and restrictions on local governance.
Step-by-step explanation:
The repercussions that followed the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773, primarily included the passage of the Coercive Acts by the British Parliament. These acts were designed to punish Massachusetts for the destruction of British tea and to stem the tide of colonial rebellion.
Among the most punitive measures was the closure of the port of Boston until the lost tea was paid for. Additionally, the Massachusetts Government Act drastically altered the colonial government, limiting democratic meetings by allowing only one town meeting per year without the governor's permission, and the Administration of Justice Act allowed the royal governor to move trials of crown officials out of Massachusetts to avoid local juries.
