What were the Intolerable Acts?
In 1774, Parliament passed a group of laws to punish the Massachusetts colony. The laws were so harsh that the colonists called then the Intolerable Acts or the Coercive Acts. One of the laws closed Boston Harbor until the colonists paid for the destroyed tea. Another law banned the committees of correspondence. Still another law allowed Britain to house troops wherever it wanted to, even in private residences.The closing of Boston's port hurt the city badly. Boston's economy depended on trade, and soon many people were out of work. Other colonies began helping Boston by sending food, supplies, and money.The Intolerable Acts had another effect. They forced many colonists to take sides in the conflict between Boston and Britain. Colonists who opposed British rule were known as Patriots. Colonists who remained loyal to King George and the British government were known as Loyalists.At the same time, Committees of Correspondence began spreading the idea of a meeting. Leaders from 12 colonies agreed to meet in Philadelphia, the largest city in the colonies. They would discuss how to oppose the Intolerable Acts.Intolerable Acts: Series of laws sponsored by British Prime Minister Lord North and enacted in 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party. The laws were these:Impartial Administration of Justice Act, which allowed the royal governor of a colony to move trials to other colonies or even to England if he feared that juries in those colonies wouldn't judge a case fairlyMassachusetts Bay Regulating Act made all law officers subject to appointment by the royal governor and banned all town meetings that didn't have approval of the royal governorBoston Port Act, which closed the port of Boston until the price of the dumped tea was recovered, moved the capital of Massachusetts to Salem, and made Marblehead the official port of entry for the Massachusetts colony.Quartering Act, which allowed royal troops to stay in houses or empty buildings if barracks were not availableQuebec Act, which granted civil government and religious freedom to Catholics living in Quebec.These Acts were the harshest so far of all the Acts passed by Parliament. The closing of Boston's port alone would cost the colony (and the American colonies as a whole) a ton of money. The Regulating Act was aimed at curtailing revolutionary activities. The Quartering Act angered colonists who didn't want soldiers (especially Redcoats) in their houses. And the Quebec Act was a direct insult to Americans, who had been denied the same sorts of rights that the Quebec residents now received.The intolerable acts were closing the port of Boston not letting anything in or out. The second was closing the town meetings. The third was the British taking power over the Massachusetts assembly. The last was called quartering, which was when the colonists had to let the British soldiers stay in their houses. After the intolerable acts was the battle of Lexington and Concord, and the Acts were in response to the Boston Tea Party.AnswerIn American history, the "Intolerable Acts" were a series of legislation enacted by the British Parliament in 1774 as a reaction to the Boston Tea Party.The Acts stripped most self-governance from the Massachusetts colony, and instituted a series of punitive taxes and measures against the colony. It was meant to make an example of to the rest of the 13 colonies, which had been seen as increasingly resistive to Parliament rule since the passing of The Stamp Act the prior decade.Instead, the Acts were seen as yet a further indication of Parliament's capriciousness and lack of concern for issues important to the American colonies. The Acts are a direct cause of the American Revolution, as the Acts inspired the convening of the first Continental Congress, which thereafter initiated the American Revolution.the boston tea party angered the british and it all started because of taxes
