Because they thought the laws violated their rights as Englishmen
The Intolerable or Coercive Acts were designed to whip the colonies back into compliance with the rules and regulations mandated by the British Parliament. They did this to punish Massachusetts by closing the port of Boston until tea was paid for them this had happened 1774. After Great Britain passed the Tea Act, which was a tax on imported tea, the colonists reacted very negatively. After the Boston Tea Party, in which thousands of dollars of tea was wastefully dumped into the sea, Great Britain passed the intolerable acts- also known as the coercive acts. The Intolerable acts allowed British troops to stay quartered in the Colonies, and also closed the Boston Port until the tea damages were repaid.
In my understanding the intolerable acts made an angry colonist population even more displeased with britains high taxes and unreasonable laws. Because of this many more colonists were rallied to the patriot cause and the colonies where that much closer to separating from great Britain.
What is the Intolerable Acts? A series of laws that parliament passed to punish the Massachusetts colonies for the Boston Tea Party. When did this event take place? 1774 Fact: The Intolerable Acts were first known as the Coercive Acts but were so harsh that people called it what its called today. What Happened? The colonies were pressed with greater taxes without any representation in Britain. This eventually led to the Boston Tea Party. Then the British passed several punitive acts aimed at bringing the colonies back into submission of the King. What did they do to the Massachusetts colonies? They took away many of its rights of self-government. Almost all positions in the colonial government were to be appointment by the governor or directly by the King. Activities of town meetings were limited.

Type your answer here... because many of them sated that they had to pay taxes on unreasonable things such as paper
After the Boston Tea Party, the British clamped down on the Massachusetts colony, and passed what came to be known as the Intolerable Acts. Most colonists were outraged by them; they seemed far too harsh and unjust: colonists felt that the acts strangled commerce and trade, and treated the people of Massachusetts like convicted criminals. Some of the colonists mounted protests, and many refused to comply with these new laws. A few of the more influential colonists, including John Hancock, even wrote to the royal authorities to demand that these acts be repealed immediately. But when nothing seemed to work, the Intolerable Acts led the colonists to decide a revolution was necessary.

The Intolerable Acts started in Britain. King GeorgeIII and Lord North came up with a ton of taxes like the Stamp Act, Quartering Act and many more. They showed the taxes to the British Government and they passed or denied these taxes. The colonists did not have anyone representing them in Britain. This is called "taxation without representation". They sent these laws to the colonists in the "New England" area. This is where the Intolerable Acts took place.

In order to pay off their war debt they heavily taxed the colonist and past many acts which were unfair to the colonists. These acts include the intolerable acts, the townsend acts, and also other taxes such as the stamp,tea ETC...
