Boston Port Act
The
Boston Port Act
, passed by
Britain's Parliament
and becoming law on
31 March
1774
, is one of the measures (variously called the
Intolerable Acts
, the
Punitive Acts
or the
Coercive Acts
) that were designed to secure
Britain
's jurisdictions over her
American
dominions. A response to the
Boston Tea Party
, it outlawed the use of the Port of
Boston
for "landing and discharging, lading or shipping, of goods, wares, and merchandise" until such time as restitution was made to
the King's
treasury (for
customs
duty
lost) and to the
East India Company
for damages suffered.
