The Coercive Acts of 1774, also known as the Intolerable Acts, were a series of laws passed by the British Parliament in response to the Boston Tea Party. They included the Boston Port Act, which closed Boston Harbor until the tea was paid for, the Massachusetts Government Act, which limited town meetings and altered the Massachusetts charter, the Administration of Justice Act, allowing royal officials to be tried in Britain for crimes, and the Quartering Act, which required colonists to house British troops. These measures aimed to suppress colonial resistance but instead galvanized opposition and contributed to the American Revolution.
