The Intolerable Acts

There were different intolerable acts, such as the tea act which caused the colonies not to buy British tea because they boycotted it. The British made the tax act too which caused the colonies to pay more taxes to the British.

The Intolerable Acts are the same thing as the Coercive Acts. The acts were passed in 1774 to punish the American colonists because of the Boston Tea Party. It included a Port Bill, which meant that all the ports were closed until the tea was repaid, the Government Act- a revoked charter of the Massachussetts colony, Administration of Justice Act- all court cases had to be held outside of Boston, and the New Quartering Act- colonists had to provide adequate housing and provisions for the British troops.

the event that led up to the intolerable acts was the Boston tea party.

1) the Boston Port Act: closed the ports of the Boston Harbor until the value of the destroyed tea was reimbursed

2) the Massachusetts Government Act: declared that members of the Massachusetts Council would be appointed by the Governor, not elected by the Assembly. Also, town meetings could take place only with the Governor's permission. This act gave the governor full power to appoint local officials and the judiciary, and decreed that in the future, juries would be appointed by the sheriffs, not elected.

3) the Impartial Administration of Justice Act: British official accused of committing crimes be tried not in Massachusetts but in another colony or in England.

4) Quebec Act: gave Canada's Catholics civil equality and guaranteed religious tolerance. It also gave the French vast territories west of the Appalachians. The colonists saw this as an attempt to renew their battles with both the French and the Indians.

Since the colonists hated the townshed acts, they obviously tortured the loyalists working with the law. They buried them alive, boycotted, protested and took things to violent measures. Of course, the loyalists felt scared.

The result from the intolerable acts was the meeting of the Second Continental Congress, the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, the naming of General George Washington as commander for the American Army, The American Revolutionary War, and the new nation of the United States of America.

The Intolerable Acts were attempts to levy direct taxes on Americans. The tax collectors paid for their jobs. The tax collectors attempted to collect many times the official amount of the tax. The Americans considered that intolerable. The tax collectors were given the right to enter houses and take what they wanted.

Actually, in order to understand the intolerable acts, you need to read the Constitution of the United States including the first 10 amendments. The rights granted there were not some wild theory. They were things the King wad doing to the colonists. Thus, when you read the prohibition against ex post facto legislation, that is what the King was doing. When you read about trials without a jury, without the defendant knowing the charges, without the defendant knowing who is testifying against him, and where the defendant does not have a lawyer, you understand the intolerable act. When you read about a legislator being arrested on the floor of congress for his opposition to a bill, that is there due to the intolerable acts.

The British Solders came out of the prisons. They were given a choice between joining the army and hanging. They were quartered in American homes. They frequently raped the women. The women did not like that.

The Revolution really got going when the British burned the towns of Charleston, Massachusetts, Norfolk, Virginia, and Elizabeth, North Carolina and Raped the women there. The Americans had enough.

Colonists could only trade with England.....(:

Type your answer here... because many of them sated that they had to pay taxes on unreasonable things such as paper

Laws passed by Great Britain because of the Boston Tea Party.

The intolerable acts was a set of laws imposed by the British for the Boston Tea Party. There were four laws. One was that no one could leave Boston until they payed for all 250 chests of tea they dumped. the second was that British soldiers could camp out in any house. the other two i forgot. lol!

Also called the Coercive Acts, the Intolerable Acts raised revenue and helped Britain gain more control over the Colonies, while, at the same time, outraging them.

Actually I have just learned about the Intolerable Acts and there were only three, a new British general took over Boston, you had to allow British soldiers to live in your house, and the Boston Harbor was closed.

Please see attached link from ThinkQuest for details of specific parts of the Intolerable Acts, including when they each went into effect.

The Quebec act was not part of the Coercive acts but since the Quebec act came afterwards they went ahead and just said that they were a part of it. The Coercive Acts were also called the "Intolerable Acts" as viewed by the colonists.

false it is caused by the Boston tea party

because they had no say in laws they were forced to obey

It was an attempt to reimpose british control

To coerce someone is to make them do something by physical force. So a coercive act is the application of that force.

• Impartial Administration of Justice Act.
• Massachusetts Bay Regulating Act.
• Boston Port Act.
• Quartering Act.

you may be wondering what the Coercive Acts did and the answer is it made colonist give shelter,clothing, and beds and other needs to solders and of course they were british.

The Intolerable Acts were passed by the British Parliament, because they were deeply in debt , and thought the American colonies should pay part of the expense. (The Intolerable Acts were taxes.)
