Intolerable Acts
The Intolerable Acts, called the Coercive Acts in Britain, were four punitive laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774 after the Boston Tea Party. They closed the port of Boston, curtailed self-government in Massachusetts and allowed the quartering of troops, and they provoked the colonies to coordinate their resistance through the First Continental Congress.
