multiple choice question
what restrictions did the coercive acts place on the massachusetts colonists after the boston tea party?

○ they imposed higher taxes and made no other changes.
○ they closed boston harbor and withdrew the colonys right to govern itself.
○ they closed boston harbor and limited (but did not withdraw) the colonys right to govern itself.
○ they kept boston harbor open but withdrew the colonys right to govern itself.

Explanation:

The Coercive Acts (Intolerable Acts) after the Boston Tea Party closed Boston Harbor and revoked Massachusetts' self - governing rights. The first option is wrong as more than tax changes occurred. The third and fourth options misstate the self - governance restriction. The fifth option is wrong about Boston Harbor.

Answer:

They closed Boston Harbor and withdrew the colony's right to govern itself.
