The repercussions of the Boston Tea Party were severe for the British government and even more severe for the colonists. The huge losses from the wastage of thousands of pounds of tea that the British government suffered resulted in angering King George to such an extent that he did not hesitate even once to take severe measures against the colonists who were actually responsible for this loss.

For this purpose, the Parliament framed certain legislations that confiscated the right of the colonists to self-govern themselves in the state of Massachusetts, where the plan of the Boston Tea Party was actually formulated. The Boston Harbor was also closed and was declared to remain closed by the British government until and unless the British colonists paid for the losses resulting from the Boston Tea Party. An army of British soldiers were sent to the colonies to enforce all these laws, which the colonists termed as 'intolerable acts'.

The british soldiers closed the harbor and the harbor would remain closed until the colonists payed taxes for what they had done.

The risk was that king George will get mad and he did and the taxes went up again as a law and the colonists had to ask the king to forgive them and he also made them pay by all the taxes
