Title: Re: What were the Coercive Acts, why were they passed, and why did the colonists oppose them? Post by: bolbol on Jan 15, 2024 the Coercive Acts were a series of punitive measures passed by the British Parliament in 1774 to punish Boston for rebellion against the British government. The acts consisted of four acts: the Boston Port Act, the Massachusetts Government Act, the Administration of Justice Act, and the Quartering Act. The colonists opposed the Coercive Acts because they saw them as an attack on their rights and liberties, and a violation of their right to self-government and historic rights and autonomy.
