In response to the Boston Tea Party and growing unrest in the colonies, Parliament enacted the Coercive Acts in 1774, also known as the Intolerable Acts. These measures included closing Boston Harbor until the tea was paid for, altering the Massachusetts charter to limit self-governance, and allowing royal officials accused of crimes to be tried in Britain. These punitive actions aimed to reassert British control and suppress dissent but ultimately fueled colonial resistance and unity against British rule.
