The Intolerable Acts, enacted in 1774, were a series of punitive measures imposed by the British Parliament in response to the Boston Tea Party and increasing colonial unrest. These laws aimed to assert British authority and punish Massachusetts for its defiance, particularly by closing Boston Harbor and revoking the colony's charter. The Acts galvanized colonial opposition, contributing to the unification of the colonies against British rule and ultimately leading to the American Revolution.
