Which of the following does not describe part of the intolerable acts was it because Boston sports or closed or was it because there was a tax on Mollasses or was it because they were limited town meetings or was it because colonist had a quarter British soldiers in their homes
The statement "was it because Boston sports were closed" does not describe part of the Intolerable Acts. The Intolerable Acts (or Coercive Acts) were a series of punitive measures imposed by the British government on the American colonies in response to the Boston Tea Party. These acts included closing the port of Boston, imposing taxes on molasses and other goods, limiting town meetings, and allowing British soldiers to be quartered (housed) in colonial homes.
The part of the Intolerable Acts that does not describe one of its provisions is that colonists had to quarter British soldiers in their homes.
To determine which of the options does not describe part of the Intolerable Acts, let's break down each option and analyze them:
1. Boston ports closed: This is an accurate description of one of the measures taken in the Intolerable Acts. After the Boston Tea Party in 1773, the British government ordered the closure of the Boston port until the colonists paid for the destroyed tea.
2. Tax on molasses: This option does not describe part of the Intolerable Acts. While there were various taxes imposed on the American colonies by the British, including the Sugar Act of 1764 that taxed molasses, it was not specifically associated with the Intolerable Acts.
3. Limited town meetings: This is also an accurate description of one of the measures in the Intolerable Acts. It restricted the colonists' ability to hold town meetings and essentially limited their political participation.
4. Quartering British soldiers in homes: This is another accurate description of a provision within the Intolerable Acts. It allowed British soldiers to be quartered, or housed, in private colonial homes.
Therefore, the option that does not describe part of the Intolerable Acts is: "Tax on molasses."
To arrive at this answer, it was necessary to have knowledge about the events surrounding the Intolerable Acts, such as the closure of Boston ports and the restriction on town meetings, and compare them with the given options.
