Best Answer

The Intolerable or Coercive Acts were actually five separate acts.

  1. The 'Impartial Administration if Justice Act' stated that the governor of a colony could move a trial to another colony, or even to England, if he feared a biased jury.
  2. The 'Massachusetts Bay Regulating Act' made all law officers subject to appointment by the Royal governor, and banned any meeting not having the governor's consent.
  3. The 'Boston Port Act' closed the Boston port until the Tea Party was paid for, moved the capital of Massachusetts to Salem, and made Marblehead the official Massachusetts port of entry.
  4. A revised 'Quartering Acts' stating that citizens had to house soldiers and give them food.
  5. The 'Quebec Act' stated that Catholics living in Quebec would be governed civilly and had religious freedom.
