The '''Intolerable Acts''' were four acts enacted by the [[British]] Parliament in 1774, in response to the [[Boston Tea Party]]. The Acts included the [[Boston Port Act]], which closed the entire port of [[Boston]], the [[Quartering Act]], which made the colonists feed and shelter British troops, the [[Massachusetts Government Act]], which made [[Massachusetts]] a Royal Colony without elections (but instead a governor appointed by the King), and the [[Administration of Justice Act]]. The laws were so disagreeable that the colonists called them the "Intolerable" Acts. Along with the [[Navigation Acts]] and [[Stamp Act]], they contributed to the colonists' dissatisfaction with the British, leading to the [[American Revolution]].
