The laws meant to punish Massachusetts, particularly Boston, for resisting British rule were collectively known as the Intolerable Acts, enacted in 1774. These included the Boston Port Act, which closed the port of Boston until the tea destroyed during the Boston Tea Party was paid for, and the Massachusetts Government Act, which altered the Massachusetts charter and restricted town meetings. Other measures included the Administration of Justice Act and the Quartering Act, which allowed British troops to be housed in private homes. These acts galvanized colonial opposition and contributed to the emergence of the American Revolution.
