  5. Tea Act • The colonists could only buy tea from the East Indian tea company • Put other tea companies out of businessmaking tea makers lose money to provide for their families • Colonists were fed up with all the taxes • So that led up to the Boston Tea Party • This occurred in 1773

  6. Intolerable Acts • Impartial Administration of Justice Act: which allowed the royal governor of a colony to move trials to other colonies or England if he was nervous that juries in those colonies wouldn’t judge fairly • Massachusetts Bay Regulating Act: this act made all law officers subject to appointment by the royal governor of a colony to move and banned all town meetings that didn’t have an approval of the royal governor • Boston Port Act: This act closed of Boston until the price of dumped tea was recovered , moved the capital of Massachusetts to Salem.
