 * ﻿ The Intolera ﻿ ble Acts ** [[image:intolerablecartoon.jpg width="425" height="351" align="right" caption="An illustration depicting the Intolerable Acts."]]

The Intolerable Acts was passed in 1774 as a response to the Boston Tea Party. This act contains five laws. The first law made the royal government even more powerful. The second law closed the Boston port (this act costed the colonists a lot of money). This law was passed as a punishment to repay for the dumped tea. The third law banned town meetings (the colonists' revolutinary activities were postponed). The fourth law made the Quartering Act (this required the colonists to house soldiers) even more powerful. The colonists were enraged because they did not want to house soldiers (especially redcoats). The final law was the Quebec Act. This law gave religious freedom for those in Quebec. This was meant to insult the colonists, since they were not given such rights that people in Quebec now have.

These acts enraged the colonists to their fullest, and they became desperate for a revolution even more.
