The Intolerable Acts included the following provisions:
* The Boston Port Act, which closed the port of Boston until the colonists paid for the tea that had been destroyed in the Boston Tea Party.
* The Massachusetts Government Act, which overturned the Massachusetts charter and gave the British governor more power.
* The Quartering Act, which allowed British soldiers to be quartered in private homes.
* The Quebec Act, which extended the boundaries of the province of Quebec and gave the French Canadians religious freedom and the right to use French law.
* The Administration of Justice Act, which allowed British officials to be tried in England rather than in the colonies.
The Intolerable Acts were met with outrage in the colonies. They were seen as a violation of the colonists' rights and a threat to their liberty. The acts helped to unite the colonies against British rule and played a major role in the outbreak of the American Revolution.
