What were the intrable acts?

The Intolerable Acts, also known as the Coercive Acts, were a series of punitive measures enacted by the British Parliament in 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party. These acts included the Boston Port Act, which closed Boston Harbor until damages were paid, and the Massachusetts Government Act, which restricted self-governance in the colony. The Intolerable Acts aimed to reassert British authority but instead fueled colonial resentment and unity against British rule, contributing to the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War.
