The Suffolk Resolves described protest against which acts?

• A. Stamp Act
• B. Intolerable Acts
• C. Navigation Acts
• D. Sugar Act

Answer: (B)

When the colonies faced Parliament’s punitive measures in 1774, the Suffolk Resolves responded by opposing the Coercive Acts, commonly called the Intolerable Acts. They argued these acts were illegal for Massachusetts and urged resistance, including nonimportation and preparations for possible defense. The resolves helped push colonial leaders toward united action and influenced the approach of the First Continental Congress. The other acts listed—Stamp Act, Sugar Act, and Navigation Acts—were earlier trade and revenue policies; the Suffolk Resolves specifically target the Coercive/Intolerable Acts.
