The series of laws enacted by the British government in response to the Boston Tea Party is known as the Coercive Acts, or Intolerable Acts. Passed in 1774, these laws aimed to punish the Massachusetts colony for its defiance and included measures such as closing Boston Harbor and revoking the colony's charter. The Intolerable Acts intensified colonial unrest and contributed significantly to the push for American independence.
