The Intolerable Acts, also known as the Coercive Acts, were a series of punitive laws enacted by the British Parliament in 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party. These acts aimed to suppress colonial resistance by closing Boston Harbor, altering the Massachusetts charter, and allowing British troops to be quartered in private homes. The Intolerable Acts galvanized colonial opposition and contributed to the unity among the Thirteen Colonies, ultimately leading to the American Revolution.
