question 7 of 10
what was a direct effect of the intolerable acts?
choose one option
a the french - indian war began.
b colonists dumped $70,000 worth of tea into boston harbor.
c democracy in massachusetts was restricted.
d nearly 75 british soldiers were killed in concord.

Explanation:

The Intolerable Acts (1774) were British punitive laws targeting Massachusetts after the Boston Tea Party. One key provision revoked self-governance in Massachusetts, restricting democratic processes. Option A is incorrect because the French-Indian War ended before the Intolerable Acts. Option B is the Boston Tea Party, which was the cause of the Intolerable Acts, not an effect. Option D refers to the Battles of Lexington and Concord, which happened after the Intolerable Acts as a later escalation.

Answer:

C. Democracy in Massachusetts was restricted.
