The Intolerable Acts were a series of punitive measures imposed by the British Parliament in 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party and other colonial resistance to British rule. Colonists deemed these acts intolerable because they severely restricted their freedoms and self-governance, including closing Boston Harbor and revoking Massachusetts' charter. The name reflects the widespread outrage and resentment among colonists, who saw these measures as an assault on their rights and liberties, ultimately fueling the desire for independence.
