Answer 1

Answer: C. The Intolerable/Coercive Acts

Explanation: The Intolerable Acts were corrective laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774 after the Boston Tea Party. The laws were intended to rebuff the Massachusetts pioneers for their insubordination in the Tea Party fight in response to changes in tax assessment by the British Government.

Answer 2

`\boxed {\boxed {\sf C. \ The \ Intolerable / Coercive \ Acts}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1773 the British Parliament passed the Tea Act. This act gave all colonial tea sales to the British East India Company and enraged the colonists. To protest, the Sons of Liberty dressed up and threw tons of tea into the Boston Harbor.

This angered the British and they realized the colonists were out of control. They passed the Intolerable or Coercive Acts to punish the colonies for their misbehavior. These acts shut down the harbor, put Massachusetts under direct and total British control, expanded quartering of soldiers, and said all trials would commence in Britain.
