Who took charge of the british parliament once Franklin was force to leave England and what is first thing they do?

After Benjamin Franklin was forced to leave England in 1775 following the strained relations between Britain and American colonies, King George III took control of the British Parliament. One of the first actions taken by the King and Parliament was passing the Coercive Acts of 1774, also known as the Intolerable Acts by the American colonists.

The Coercive Acts were a series of punitive measures designed to punish the Boston colonists for the Boston Tea Party and to bolster British authority in America. The Acts include the Boston Port Act, which closed the port of Boston, the Massachusetts Government Act, which limited self-government in the colony, the Administration of Justice Act, which allowed British officials accused of crimes to be tried in Britain, and the Quartering Act, which forced colonists to house British troops in their homes.
