Question

select the correct answer. why did the crown pass the so - called intolerable acts? a. to raise revenue for the king b. to increase trade with the colonies c. to provoke a revolution in the colonies d. to punish the colonists for their disobedience

Explanation:

The Intolerable Acts (also known as the Coercive Acts) were passed by the British Crown after events like the Boston Tea Party, where colonists showed disobedience (protesting British policies). The purpose was to punish the colonists for such acts of disobedience, not to raise revenue (that was more for acts like the Stamp Act), increase trade, or provoke a revolution (the revolution was a response to these punitive measures, not the intent of the acts).

Answer:

D. to punish the colonists for their disobedience
