In 1774, the British took action against the colonists because of the Boston Tea party.They passed/created 5 laws each of which was unfair. The acts were...
-Impartial Administration of Justice Act-allowed law officers to move court dates and make sure results of court hearings turned out their way
-Massachusetts Bay Regulating Act-banned all town meetings that weren't approved by the royal Governor
-Boston Port Act-closed the Boston port(until tea damage was repaid) moved the capitol to Salem and made Marblehead the official port
-Quartering Act- allowed troops to stay in civilian houses and empty buildings
-Quebec Act-granted freedom to Catholics in Quebec
