The Intolerable Acts were a series of punitive measures imposed on the American colonies by the British in response to the Boston Tea Party in 1774. The Coercive Acts, also known as the Intolerable Acts, consisted of four laws that aimed to punish the colonists and restore British authority in Massachusetts after the Boston Tea Party. In summary, the Intolerable Acts refer specifically to the series of British laws passed in 1774, while the Coercive Acts is another name for those same laws.

The Intolerable Acts, also known as the Coercive Acts, were passed because King George III wanted to punish Massachusetts colonists for the Boston Tea Party. the four acts were the Quartering act, the Boston port act, the Massachutts act, Quebec Acts, and the Administration act.

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.
Laws passed by Great Britain because of the Boston Tea Party. The intolerable acts was a set of laws imposed by the British for the Boston Tea Party. There were four laws. One was that no one could leave Boston until they payed for all 250 chests of tea they dumped. the second was that British soldiers could camp out in any house. the other two i forgot. lol! Also called the Coercive Acts, the Intolerable Acts raised revenue and helped Britain gain more control over the Colonies, while, at the same time, outraging them. Actually I have just learned about the Intolerable Acts and there were only three, a new British general took over Boston, you had to allow British soldiers to live in your house, and the Boston Harbor was closed. Please see attached link from ThinkQuest for details of specific parts of the Intolerable Acts, including when they each went into effect.
The Quartering Act was passed in 1765. The Townshend Acts were passed in 1767. What may be confusing is that the Quartering Act was modified in 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party. This amendment is considered one of the four "Intolerable Acts", which were protested by the Colonists before the Revolutionary War began.
