How did the american colonists react to the laws punishing the colonies? why is this important?

They were very unhappy about it, since the Act basically said that the British Parliament had the right to pass any law (including a law about new taxes) at any time, whether the colonists agreed with that law or not.

Since the colonists still had no representation in Parliament, this was yet one more motivation for the colonists to consider a rebellion, and a number of American colonial leaders began to advocate for such a rebellion against British rule.

why is this important: because the Americans colonist can stand alone without any help from the British.

I hope that I help you.

The Intolerable Acts were punitive laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774 after the Boston Tea Party. The laws were meant to punish the Massachusetts colonists for their defiance in the Tea Party protest in reaction to changes in taxation by the British to the detriment of colonial goods.

1) checks and balances- this idea is implemented in the constitution to ensure that no one branch of the federal government gains too much power. for example, the legislative branch(congress) can approve a bill that will then be sent to the executive branch (president). if the president does not like the bill or thinks that it violates the rights of citizens, he/she can veto the bill. vetoing the bill stops the bill from becoming a law. this check on power ensures that congress makes laws that do not violate the rights of citizens.

2) anti-federalists do not want to ratify the constitution unless it includes a bill of rights. the anti-federalists are worried that the constitution gives too much power to the federal government. having a strong central government caused problems when the us was still part of great britain. this is why the anti-federalists are fearful of this type of system.

3) federalists want a new constitution passed because it will fix america's weak political structure. before the us constitution is implemented, the constitution being used is known as the articles of confederation. this constitution has an extremely weak central government, allowing for disunity among the states.
