Respuesta :

the boston tea party

Answer:

The event that Great Britain responded to by passing the Intolerable Acts was the Boston Tea Party.

Explanation:

The Boston Tea Party was a riot that took place on December 16, 1773 in Boston. The action was a reaction to the tea tax imposed on the colony by the King of Great Britain. The tax had been levied to cover the king's own luxury consumption and the war against the French. Previously, the colony had been subject to many other taxes, but these had been removed at the request of the Americans. A group of Americans dressed up as Indians and hijacked a merchant ship as it landed. They threw all the tea on the sea, which was 45 tons of tea worth $ 50,000.
