What did The Intolerable Acts Part 1 Coercive Acts do?

The Intolerable Acts, specifically the Coercive Acts of 1774, were a series of punitive measures enacted by the British Parliament in response to the Boston Tea Party. These acts included the Boston Port Act, which closed the port of Boston until the tea destroyed was paid for, and the Massachusetts Government Act, which restricted town meetings and increased royal control over the colony. The Coercive Acts aimed to suppress colonial resistance but instead united the colonies against British rule, contributing to the outbreak of the American Revolution.
