Laws passed by Great Britain because of the Boston Tea Party.
The intolerable acts was a set of laws imposed by the British for the Boston Tea Party. There were four laws. One was that no one could leave Boston until they payed for all 250 chests of tea they dumped. the second was that British soldiers could camp out in any house. the other two i forgot. lol!
Also called the Coercive Acts, the Intolerable Acts raised revenue and helped Britain gain more control over the Colonies, while, at the same time, outraging them.
Actually I have just learned about the Intolerable Acts and there were only three, a new British general took over Boston, you had to allow British soldiers to live in your house, and the Boston Harbor was closed.
Please see attached link from ThinkQuest for details of specific parts of the Intolerable Acts, including when they each went into effect.
The Intolerable Acts
The Port of Boston was the port that was closed as a result of the Coercive Acts. British Parliament issued the Coercive Acts after the Boston Tea Party in 1774.
The Boston Massacre took place in 1770 while the Coercive acts took place in 1774 4 years later.
In Great Britain, these laws were referred to as the Coercive Acts and seen by the colonists as one of the Intolerable Acts.
