How did the British response to these protests, and the colonial reaction, help put Britain and the colonies on the path toward war?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The British passed the Coercive Acts/ Intolerable Acts; the Boston harbor was closed to all shipping as of June 1, 1774, until all the tea that was wasted was paid for. Second Act, Massachusetts Government Act, greatly altered the colony's charter, underscoring Parliament's claim to supremacy over Massachusetts. Governor could now appoint all judges, sheriffs, and offices of the court. The third act, the Impartial Administration of Justice Act, stipulated that any royal official accused of a capital crime would be tried in the courts of Britain. Fifth act: Quebec, now part of the British empire, magnified American fears because it confirmed the continuation of French civil law as well as Catholicism for Quebec.
