The Intolerable Acts, also known as the Coercive Acts, were enacted by the British Parliament in 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party. These acts aimed to punish the American colonies, particularly Massachusetts, and included measures such as closing Boston Harbor and revoking the Massachusetts Charter. The acts were a significant factor leading to the American Revolution, as they united the colonies against British rule.
