Answer 1

The Intolerable Acts angered colonists because they saw them as a violation of their civil liberties and a punishment for defying Parliament, thus contributing to the start of the Revolutionary War.

Step-by-step explanation:

The acts that contributed to the start of the Revolutionary War by angering colonists who believed that their civil liberties had been violated and punishing colonists for resisting the authority of Parliament were the Intolerable Acts.

These acts, also known as the Coercive Acts, were passed in response to the Boston Tea Party and other acts of colonial defiance. They aimed to punish the Massachusetts colony and reinforce British authority, leading to growing resentment, which coalesced into the First and Second Continental Congresses and the eventual declaration of American independence.
