- Boston Port Act: This act was passed in response to the Boston Tea Party. It closed the port of Boston and stopped all trade until the British East India Company was paid for the tea that was destroyed.
- Massachusetts Government Act: This act drastically reduced the power of the Massachusetts colonial government. The governor was appointed by the king and could veto any laws passed by the elected assembly. The assembly could only meet if the governor approved.
- Administration of Justice Act: This act allowed British officials to be tried in Britain for crimes committed in the colonies. This meant that British officials could not be held accountable for their actions by colonial courts.
- Quartering Act: This act allowed British soldiers to be quartered (housed) in private homes in the colonies. This was a major inconvenience and expense for the colonists, and it also increased tensions between the colonists and the British soldiers.
- Quebec Act: This act expanded the borders of the Province of Quebec and guaranteed religious freedom for Catholics. This angered many Protestants in the colonies, who saw the act as a threat to their religious freedom.
The passage of the Intolerable Acts caused widespread outrage in the colonies. They were seen as a direct attack on the colonists' rights and liberties. The acts helped to unify the colonies and led to the outbreak of the American Revolution in 1775.
