Why were the Coericve Acts called the Intollerable Acts?

The Coercive Acts,which were implemented on the American Colonies by Great Britain, were called the "Intolerable Acts" by the colonists, because they viewed the Coercive Acts as British encroachment of their rights. The American Colonies did not tolerate Britain's implementation of the Coercive acts, thus they deemed the acts as the "Intolerable Acts". The colonists used this diction (which in fact is a logical fallacy) as propaganda, to draw more colonists to side with them against British unjustice.
