Question

question 5 of 10
why did the colonists call the coercive acts the \intolerable acts\?
a. because the laws left the colonists no way to negotiate with king george.
b. because the laws came from ideas that colonial leaders gave to parliament.
c. all of these
d. because they had no say in laws they were forced to obey.

Explanation:

The Coercive Acts (called Intolerable Acts by colonists) were punitive laws. Colonists had no representation in British Parliament (no say in laws). These acts restricted colonial self - governance (no negotiation as they were forced to obey). And there's no basis for the claim in option B.

Answer:

D. Because they had no say in laws they were forced to obey.
