Punish Boston

Explanation:

The Intolerable Acts [aka Coercive Acts] were a result of the Boston Tea Party, which happened because English colonists were furious with Parliament's taxes, and threw hundreds and hundreds of barrels of tea overboard British ships and into the sea, while dressed as Indians.

The Intolerable/Coercive Acts were passed in order to punish colonists.

in february 1787, congress decided that a convention should be convened to revise the articles of confederation, the nation’s first constitution. in may, 55 delegates came to philadelphia, and the constitutional convention began. debates erupted over representation in congress, over slavery, and over the new executive branch. the debates continued through four hot and muggy months. but eventually the delegates reached compromises, and on september 17, they produced the u.s. constitution, replacing the articles with the governing document that has functioned effectively for more than 200 years.
