The Coercive Acts (called the "Intolerable Acts" by the colonists) were imposed on the colonists in 1774, after the events of the Boston Tea Party. The Coercive Acts stated that:
- Boston Harbor would be closed until all the dumped tea was paid for by the colonists.
- Massachusetts was deprived of its self-government.
- British officials would be tried in England.
- A stronger Quartering Act was issued.
- Colonial assemblies were forbidden.
