A. Town Meetings.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Coercive Acts were passed in 1774 by the British Parliament, this was their response to the Boston Tea Party and were very harsh on the New England colonists.
After the Boston Tea Party, Great Britain was furious and decided to act very harshly on the Northern colonists. They passed the Coercive Acts, also known as the Intolerable Acts because they were so harsh. With these acts, Boston Harbor was closed until the colonists repaid Great Britain for the lost tea. Only needed and important items were allowed through and this did not make the colonists happy. Town meetings were not allowed and the colonists had to open their homes to British troops, making their homes free to board.
While this was just specific to Massachusetts, a lot of the other colonies were also angered because of this and felt as if this was against their natural and constitutional rights. They felt as if Great Britain was abusing their power and at this point would not stop.
