Answer 1

The Coercive and Intolerable Act of 1763 was a direct punishment to the Boston Tea Party. While the Stamp Act was seen as an infringement on rights the Colonists believed the should have the Coercive and Intolerable Act was meant to take away their rights and punish the colonists (not just those in Boston). The acts limited not only trade but also the ability of the colonists to have a say in their own governmental affairs (even more so than before). Because of these austere measures discontent grew, leading to riots and eventually the revolution.

 

As to the stamp act (your wording is strange but I assume you mean how it did not lead to the revolution). Well you could argue that it did and did not. In most history classes (I know APUSH goes more in-depth) points to the Stamp Act as the first of the Acts that taxed the colonists without their consent/say in the manner. (Taxation without representation). As for why it did NOT lead directly to the revolution you could point out it was repealed. It played a factor at first but negative tensions from both the colonists and merchants lead Parliament to repeal it. Thus, making it a moot point. It was no longer a factor by the time of the Boston Tea Party, there were other laws that played a far bigger/direct role in the reasons for the colonists rebelling.

 

I hope this helps! Good luck in APUSH, you can contact me if you need any help later on in the class.
