  • The Coercive Acts of 1774Cause: The laws were meant to punish the Massachusetts colonists for their defiance in the Tea Party protest. Effect: The colonist viewed this act as unnecessary and cruel punishment that inflamed outrage against Britain even further. Great Britain hoped that this act would isolate radicals in Massachusetts and cause American colonists to concede the authority of parliament over their elected assemblies. In response to these actions and laws, the colonist banded together to fight back. Several committees of colonists called for a convention of delegates from the colonies to organize resistance to the Intolerable Acts. The convention was later to be called the Continental Congress.
