Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -As a result of the Boston Tea Party, the British shut down Boston Harbor until all of the 340 chests of British East India Company tea were paid for. This was implemented under the 1774 Intolerable Acts and known as the Boston Port Act.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Boston Tea Party pushed Britain’s Parliament to assert its authority-and it passed the Intolerable Acts in 1774.
Detailed explanation-3: -The act retained the duty on imported tea at its existing rate, but, since the company was no longer required to pay an additional tax in England, the Tea Act effectively lowered the price of the East India Company’s tea in the colonies.
