The Intolerable Acts (in Britain, we refer to them as the Coercive Acts) were a series of punishments meant to make an example of Massachusetts after the Boston Tea Party, to eliminate colonial resistance.
Why the Intolerable Acts were made law can be best exemplified by Prime Minister Lord North's speech:
The Americans have tarred and feathered your subjects, plundered your merchants, burnt your ships, denied all obedience to your laws and authority; yet so clement and so long forbearing has our conduct been that it is incumbent on us now to take a different course. Whatever may be the consequences, we must risk something.
To the British, they had been incredibly lenient towards the Americans, but they had thrown about 888 thousand pounds' worth of tea in the ocean. It was unacceptable for a colony to behave like such, and the Americans needed to be punished (through the Intolerable Acts).
