The Governor of Massachusetts was royally given a wide range of powers since he was
royally appointed to the position. Governor Thomas Hutchinson decided that the
colonists needed to be punished for the number of things that have happened in Boston
that went against the crown. After the Boston Habor was closed, there were more acts
that gave more rights to the British Soldiers than the colonists. These acts were known
as the:
Intolerable Acts
O The Boston Orders
O The Soldiers Privilege
East India Trade Act
