Intolerable Acts

The Intolerable Acts, as called by the colonists, were the response of the Brittish parliament to the Boston Tea Party and the various protests. These Intolerable Acts were five:

The BostonPort Act: This closed the Boston Port till the East India Company was paid for the lost tea. This created many difficulties for people whose lives and work depended on the Port.

Massachusetts Government Act: This act removed the Massachusetts Charter to lose alot of its independant self government. This angered the colonists for they were very proud of their independance from te crowd and the taking of that independance was an outrage.

Administration of Justice Act: The tird act stated that Brittish Officers accused of crime were to be taken to England to be put on trial. This was a measure by the Brittish to prevent the officers to be unfairly judged. However colonists interpreted this as a way for Brittich officers to escape crimes.

The Quartering Act: This stated that Brittish soldiers were allowed to be quartered in colonist building, including colonists omes if there was no space in other buildings.

The Quebec Act: This act extended the area of the province of Quebec. Quebec was the only province without representatives and this made the Brittish look like they wanted to extend their power over the colonies.
