The Intolerable Acts were a series of punitive measures imposed by the British government on the American colonies in 1774 following the Boston Tea Party. Known in Britain as the Coercive Acts, the laws were intended to punish Massachusetts and restore royal authority after colonial resistance to British taxation and policies. The acts closed the port of Boston, limited self-government in Massachusetts, allowed British officials accused of crimes to be tried elsewhere, and expanded the quartering of British troops in colonial homes and buildings. Rather than weakening resistance, the Intolerable Acts united many colonists against Britain, leading to increased cooperation among the colonies and helping spark the formation of the First Continental Congress, a major step toward the American Revolutionary War.
