What series of laws passed by Britain in 1774 were called the Intolerable Acts? They were the Coercive Acts. Britain passed these punitive measures after the Boston Tea Party of December 16, 1773, when protesters destroyed tea in Boston Harbor.

The laws targeted Massachusetts. The Boston Port Act closed Boston Harbor until the destroyed tea was paid for. The Massachusetts Government Act reduced local self-government, while the Administration of Justice Act allowed some royal officials accused of crimes to be tried outside Massachusetts. A new Quartering Act also expanded arrangements for housing British troops. Together, the measures were intended to reassert British authority but instead united many colonists against Parliament.

“Intolerable Acts” was the American colonial name; in Britain, the laws were generally called the Coercive Acts. The Quebec Act, passed during the same period, is often grouped with them by colonists and later historians, but it was a separate law. The crisis helped lead to the First Continental Congress in 1774 and, eventually, armed conflict at Lexington and Concord in April 1775.
