The Intolerable Acts (known as the Coercive Acts in Britain) were a series of acts passed by the British Parliament in response to the Boston Tea Party. The acts consisted of four separate laws which were passed and enacted at separate times:Boston Port Act (also known as the Trade Act 1774): 31 March 1774Massachusetts Government Act: 20 May 1774Act for the Impartial Administration of Justice: 20 May 1774Quartering Act of 1774: 2 June 1774

The Coercive Acts were officially called the Restraining Acts, but Americans called them the Intolerable Acts. They included the Boston Port Act (June 1, 1774), the Quartering Act (June 2, 1774), the Administration of Justice Act (May 20, 1774), and the Massachusetts Government Act (May 20, 1774). These acts were a response to the Boston Tea Party and were an attempt to restore order in the colonies. They were instrumental in leading the colonies on the path to war. Massachusetts gained sympathy from other colonies. The First Continental Congress was called, and met in Philadelphia in September, 1774. And many of the more moderate colonists began to move toward more radical views, surprised over the harsh response of the British government to the actions of the colonists.

This was an attempt to coerce the repayment of customs and restitution to the East India Company for their lost revenue, and to re-exert British control of the colonies.
