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. They aimed to suppress colonial dissent and included measures such as closing Boston Harbor, revoking Massachusetts' charter, and allowing royal officials to be tried in Britain for crimes committed in the colonies. These acts united the colonies against British rule, ultimately contributing to the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War. The term "intolerable" reflects the colonists' view that these measures were oppressive and unjust.
