What did the coroceive act do?

The Coercive Acts, also known as the Intolerable Acts, were a series of punitive measures enacted by the British Parliament in 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party. These laws aimed to punish Massachusetts by closing Boston Harbor, altering the Massachusetts charter, and allowing royal officials to be tried outside the colony for crimes. The Acts intensified colonial resentment towards British rule and contributed to the unification of the colonies against British authority, ultimately leading to the American Revolution.
