The Intolerable Acts
The Intolerable Acts, also known as the Coercive Acts, were a series of laws passed by the British to punish colonies that were openly rebelling. They were triggered by the Boston Tea Party of 1773. Instead of regaining control, the laws only caused more revolt. The situation escalated into the Revolutionary War.

Where did The Intolerable Acts take place?
The Intolerable Acts started in Britain. King GeorgeIII and Lord North came up with a ton of taxes like the Stamp Act, Quartering Act and many more. They showed the taxes to the British Government and they passed or denied these taxes. The colonists did not have anyone representing them in Britain. This is called "taxation without representation". They sent these laws to the colonists in the "New England" area. This is where the Intolerable Acts took place.
Why were the intolerable acts intolerable to the colonists?
These Acts were the harshest so far of all the Acts passed by Parliament. The closing of Boston's port alone would cost the colony (and the American colonies as a whole) a ton of money. The Regulating Act was aimed at curtailing revolutionary activities. The Quartering Act angered colonists who didn't want soldiers (especially Redcoats) in their houses. And the Quebec Act was a direct insult to Americans, who had been denied the same sorts of rights that the Quebec residents now got.
What was the colonist reaction to the Boston port act?
The Boston Port Act was an effort on the part of the British to collect money from the colonists to pay for the tea that had been destroyed during the Boston Tea Party. The colonists felt it was unfair to make everyone pay for something that most of them didn't participate in.

The Intolerable Acts or the Coercive Acts are names used to describe a series of five laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774 relating to Britain's colonies in North America. Anyways, they were a major factor contributing to the outbreak of the American Revolution. Prime Minister Lord North introduced the first measure, the Boston Port Bill, on March 18, 1774; it passed both houses of Parliament without serious opposition and was signed by the King at the end of the month. The port of Boston was ordered closed until restitution for the tea was made and until royal officials were compensated for personal damages; the Massachusetts capital was moved to Salem; and Marblehead was made the customs port of entry.

The Quartering Act (June 2) authorized civil officers to requisition houses and empty buildings to house royal troops where barracks were unavailable or unsuitable. The Qubec Act (June 22) granted civil government and religious liberty to the Roman Catholic inhabitants of the former French colony and extended the Canadian boundary to the Ohio River.

What effect did the acts intolerable stamp tea etc have on the colionies?
Great Britain, the King and Parliament, were creating taxes to pay for the French and Indian War, or Seven Years' War. This war was fought on the soil of the colonist and for the protection of the colonists, therefore, Britain reasoned, the colonists should have to pay for the cost of the war. The Parliament and the King created these taxes without consent from the colonies; the colonies had no representation. Taxes like that would never have happened on the Great Britain mainland because they all had representatives in Parliament.
The Intolerable Acts were also known as the Coercive Acts. They forced the colonists to do what ever the British wanted. That includes giving housing and food for free away to the British soldiers.

What did the colonists do about the intolerable acts?
The colonies united and responded quickly to a call from Virginia for a Continental Congress that was to meet in Philadelphia in September 1774 to seek a redress of the colonists grievances.
On December 16, 1773, the Sons of Liberty, led by Samuel Adams, planned to show Parliament how they felt about the Tea Act. They boarded the British ship Dartmouth docked in Boston Harbor, dressed up as Indians, and dumped the entire load of tea into the water. This event came to be known as the Boston Tea Party.
The historical significance of the Boston Tea Party is recognized more in the British response than in the event itself. As a result of the Boston Tea Party, Parliament passed the following laws designed to punish the Americans.
1.) The Coercive Acts - These acts, including the Boston Harbor bill, closed the harbor to all commercial traffic until Americans paid for the tea they dumped.
2.) The Administration of Justice Act - This act required the extradition (transfer) of all royal officials charged with capital crimes in America to courts in Great Britain.
3.) Massachusetts Government Act - This act ended self-rule in the colonies and made all elected officers in America subject to British appointment.
4.) Quartering Act - This was simply a new version of the 1765 Quartering Act which required Americans to provide accomodations (housing , food, clothing etc.) to British soldiers if necessary.
5.) Quebec Act - This act extended the Canadian border (British territory) into the Ohio River Valley and eliminated lands that were claimed by Massachusetts, Virginia and Connecticut.
These acts were called the Intolerable Acts in America and resulted in the formation of the Continental Congress.
