Question

In three to five sentences, analyze the effect the Coercive Acts had on the colonists and their relationship with the British.

Answer 1

The Coercive Acts of 1774, known as the Intolerable Acts in the American colonies, were a series of four laws passed by the British Parliament to punish the colony of Massachusetts Bay for the Boston Tea Party. The four acts were the Boston Port Act, the Massachusetts Government Act, the Administration of Justice Act, and the Quartering Act.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: The Act ordered that the port remained closed until Boston people paid back the East India Company (the owners of the destroyed tea). They also had to wait until the king had determined that the colony was able to obey British laws so he could send British goods to the colonies. So it hurt their relationship with the British because the British could not trust them to trade without damaging the shipments. It put a crack in the relationship the British and the colonies could not mend. It started a spark of hatred in the colonies towards Britain.
