The statement that best explains why the resolution was adopted is:

**Colonists were upset by the punishment imposed after the Boston Tea Party.**

This is because the resolution likely refers to responses to the Intolerable Acts, which were punitive measures taken by the British government in reaction to the Boston Tea Party, leading to widespread colonial unrest and calls for unified action among the colonies.
