Parliament passed the Coercive Acts, also known as the Intolerable Acts, in 1774 as a reaction to the Boston Tea Party, where American colonists protested British taxation by dumping tea into Boston Harbor. These acts aimed to punish Massachusetts and restore order by closing Boston Harbor, revoking the colony's charter, and allowing British troops to be quartered in homes. The Coercive Acts further escalated tensions between Britain and the colonies, ultimately contributing to the American Revolution.
