Why did the king and parliament enforce The Intolerable Acts?

The Intolerable Acts were enacted by the British Parliament in 1774 as a response to the Boston Tea Party and the growing unrest in the American colonies. These punitive measures aimed to assert British authority and punish Massachusetts for its defiance, particularly by closing Boston Harbor and revoking the colony's charter. The Acts were intended to restore order and discourage further rebellion, but instead, they united the colonies against British rule and fueled the push for independence.
