Answer 1

The act that closed the port of Boston until payment for the tea was made, sent British officials accused of a crime back to England, placed British soldiers in private homes, and reduced the level of self-government in Massachusetts was called the Coercive Acts.

Step-by-step explanation:

The act that closed the port of Boston until payment for the tea was made, sent British officials accused of a crime back to England, placed British soldiers in private homes, and reduced the level of self-government in Massachusetts was called the Coercive Acts, which were also known as the Intolerable Acts.

These acts were passed by the British Parliament in response to the Boston Tea Party, which occurred in 1773. The Coercive Acts were meant to punish Massachusetts for its defiance of British rule and to restore order in the colonies.

The Coercive Acts consisted of four measures: the Boston Port Bill, the Massachusetts Government Bill, the Administration of Justice Act, and the Quartering Act.
