Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Intolerable, or Coercive, Acts were passed by the British Parliament in 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party, in which American colonists dumped tea into the Boston Harbor to protest against British taxation policies. The Acts were meant to punish the colonists and assert British authority over them, leading to further tensions between the colonies and Britain that eventually led to the American Revolution.
