What was the goal of the boston port bill, one of the intolerable acts?
to increase activity in boston harbor
to rebuild boston harbor
to isolate boston by closing its harbor
to create new taxes for boston harbor

The goal of the Boston Port Bill, one of the Intolerable Acts, was to isolate Boston by closing its harbor.

This law, a direct consequence of the Boston Tea Party, closed the Boston harbor to all ships, whatever the purpose of their trip, until compensation was paid to the Royal Treasury and the East India Company. The settlers objected that the Boston Port Bill punished all of Boston and not just the individuals who had destroyed the tea, and that this penalty was imposed without having had the opportunity to testify in their own defense.

Since the Boston harbor was one of the main sources of supply for the citizens of Massachusetts, colonies as far away as South Carolina expressed their solidarity by sending provisions to the inhabitants of the Bay of Massachusetts; this meant the first step in the unification of the Thirteen Colonies.

when studying cause and effect, historians usually group the causes into different categories. for example, cultural causes reflect how a society’s literature and art convey the way the society saw itself in relation to the rest of the world. another resource that historians use to understand society is pop culture, which tells them the trends and ideas that are preferred by the common people. when studying cause and effect, it’s important to remember multiple causation, or the idea that an effect could have several causes and vice versa.  

the correct option is “cultural causes” since art and literature are related to the culture of a place. culture is determined by literature, art, music.

the correct option is “pop culture” since it reflects the likes and ideas of common people whereas the rest of the options do not focus on common people.  

the correct option is “multiple causation” since it refers to the idea that events are caused by multiple reasons, not just a single one.  

freedom of speech is also protected by the 1 amendment.

explanation:

here is pretty much what the 1st amendment says:

congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
