the british government passed the intolerable acts in response to colonial resistance, particularly the boston tea party.
how did the american colonists immediately react to the intolerable acts?
○ they strengthened their military and prepared for war.
○ they formed the first continental congress to coordinate resistance.
○ they signed the treaty of alliance with france for military support.
○ they accepted british rule and paid the taxes.

Explanation:

To answer this, we analyze each option:

• Strengthening military for war was later, not immediate reaction to Intolerable Acts.
• The First Continental Congress was formed in response to Intolerable Acts to coordinate colonial resistance, which was the immediate reaction.
• Treaty of Alliance with France was during the Revolutionary War, not immediate after Intolerable Acts.
• Colonists did not accept British rule; they resisted.

Answer:

B. They formed the First Continental Congress to coordinate resistance.
