How did great Britain respond to the tea party?

In response to the Boston Tea Party, the British Parliament passed a series of laws known as the Coercive Acts, also known as the Intolerable Acts, in 1774:

- The Boston Port Act: Closed the port of Boston until the colonists paid for the destroyed tea.

- The Massachusetts Government Act: Restructured the Massachusetts colonial government, removing the governor's power and increasing British control.

- The Administration of Justice Act: Allowed British officials accused of crimes in the colonies to be tried in Britain, rather than in the colonies where the crimes were committed.

- The Quartering Act: Required colonists to provide food and lodging to British soldiers.

- The Quebec Act: Extended the boundaries of the Province of Quebec to include the Ohio River Valley and granted religious freedom to Catholics, angering many Protestants.

The Coercive Acts were intended to punish the colonists and assert British authority, but they also had the unintended consequence of uniting the colonies in opposition to British rule and contributed to the outbreak of the American Revolution.
