Because they thought the laws violated their rights as Englishmen
The colonists called the Coercive Acts the "Intolerable Acts" because they viewed the laws as oppressive and unfair. The acts were seen as a violation of their rights and liberties, including the closing of the port of Boston and the imposition of martial law. The colonists believed that these acts were intolerable and not to be accepted.
Intolerable Acts
The colonists referred to the Coercive Acts as the Intolerable Acts because they viewed these laws as extreme violations of their rights and liberties. Enacted by the British Parliament in 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party, the acts imposed harsh penalties, including the closure of Boston Harbor and the revocation of Massachusetts's self-governance. The colonists believed these measures were oppressive and unjust, fueling their desire for independence and uniting them against British rule. The term "intolerable" reflected their collective outrage and resistance to what they perceived as tyranny.
