The Writs of Assistance allowed British officials to issue blank warrants in America. That meant that those officials could search a house without having to explain to cause. As one of the intolerable acts, the Writs angered the Massachusetts colonist and sent them closer to rebellion. It also inspired one of the guaranteed rights in the Bill of Rights; the one dealing with warrants.
