- The Intolerable acts include the Boston Port Act, Administration of Justice Act, the Massachusetts Government Act, the Quartering Act of 1774, and the Quebec Act. The laws were meant to punish the Massachusetts colonists for their defiance in the Tea Party protest in reaction to changes in taxation by the British Government.
