The Quartering Act of 1775
The quartering act is the act that allowed the British soldiers to be quartered, or housed, in the colonist's homes. The colonists also had to feed, give them clothes, and take care of them until they felt that they didn't want or need to stay there anymore.
There were two Quartering Acts. The first one, The Quartering Act of 1765, was enacted before the Intolerable Acts. The second Quartering Act of 1774 was one of four acts considered part of the Intolerable Acts. Both acts were practically the same in legislation.
At the first Continental Congress in 1774, delegates were not yet eager to declare independence. They first wanted to exhaust all other options, and petitioned the British crown for a redress of the colonies' grievances.

The first Quartering Act went into effect on May 15, 1765. This Act expired on March 24, 1767. An amendment that reinforced the Act was added on June 2, 1774, however, and it was called as one of the Intolerable Acts by colonists.
