(1 point)
• Intolerable Acts
Stamp Act
Tea Act
Townshend Acts

Answer 1

The law that resulted in violence and property destruction, leading to the closing of Boston Harbor, was the **Tea Act**. The Boston Tea Party, a protest against this act in December 1773, involved the destruction of the tea cargo, which prompted the British government to implement the Intolerable Acts as a punitive measure, including closing Boston Harbor. However, the initial action that led to this sequence of events was the Tea Act.
