The Coercive Acts were officially called the Restraining Acts, but Americans called them the Intolerable Acts. They included the Boston Port Act (June 1, 1774), the Quartering Act (June 2, 1774), the Administration of Justice Act (May 20, 1774), and the Massachusetts Government Act (May 20, 1774). These acts were a response to the Boston Tea Party and were an attempt to restore order in the colonies. They were instrumental in leading the colonies on the path to war. Massachusetts gained sympathy from other colonies. The First Continental Congress was called, and met in Philadelphia in September, 1774. And many of the more moderate colonists began to move toward more radical views, surprised over the harsh response of the British government to the actions of the colonists.
Continental Congress
Assembly of Notables
To protest British colonial policy To assert colonists' rights as British citizens To state American rights within the British Empire Apex:To assert colonists' rights as British citizens
In June 1774, William Pitt, a member of Parliament, asked British leaders to become patient. The first Continental Congress met because they were trying to adopt a more gentle way of governing America, and to possibly petition Britain for a more respectful treatment. This was not to be, and the Congress was forced to reconvene two years later to very seriously discuss independence.
They met in response to the Intolerable Acts of 1774. These acts were created to punish the colonies, specifically Massachusetts, after the Boston Tea Party. One of the Intolerable Acts was the Boston Port Bill; it closed the port of Boston until the damages of the tea party were paid for.

The 4 acts known as the Coercive Acts, or the Intolerable Acts, were passed in April 1774. They were intended to punish Massachusetts over rebellious acts including the Boston Tea Party (December 16, 1773). The First Continental Congress met in September, 1774 and supported Massachusetts in their resistance to the acts. The final end to the effectiveness of the acts came on April 19, 1775 when the first battles of the Revolutionary War were fought, and definitively with the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
The Assembly met to discuss the plan.
