The Quartering Act were two acts that were put in place by the British Parliament in 1765. The purpose of these acts were to require the governments of the American to provide British soldiers with requests for lodging and food.
the intolerable acts punished boston because they knew colonist were not going to pay for the damages that they caused during the boston tea party so to punish them the parliament decided to put taxes on everything and as part of the quatering act to let british live in vacant houses of the colonists.
It forced colonists to accept British soldiers into their homes. The Quartering Act was an act, passed by Parliament that made colonists house or quarter British soldiers. While many sources claim that the 1774 act allowed troops to be billeted in occupied private homes, this is a myth. The act only permitted troops to be quartered in unoccupied buildings. It did not, as generations of American school children were taught, permit the housing of troops in private homes. When the US was still colonies of Great Britain, there was a law that required the colonists to allow the British soldiers to live in their homes.
