Intolerable Acts Reading

Students read an excerpt from the Boston Port Act and answer questions that develop understanding of punishment, authority, and the British response to colonial protest. The activity asks students to explain effects on Boston’s merchants and workers, evaluate fairness, and interpret what the law reveals about British power. This worksheet strengthens close reading and comprehension of how the Intolerable Acts increased tensions leading to the Revolutionary War.
