Intolerable Acts

Intolerable Acts ( English: Intolerable Acts, also Coercive Acts ) (English: "coercive " = coercion ) is derived from the 13 American colonies name for a five -part series of laws that the British Parliament in 1774 due to the increasing unrest in the 13 American colonies, but especially in Boston (Massachusetts), here as a punitive measure because of the Boston Tea Party, adopted. The collection of these laws came across a great rejection in the colonies and contributed to the outbreak of the War of Independence and the subsequent formation of the United States at.

The Intolerable Acts consisted of five parts:

• Through the Boston Port Act, the Port of Boston was closed for trading.
• The Massachusetts Government Act banning meetings in the cities and revoked the certificate of incorporation of the colony.
• The Impartial Administration of Justice Act withdrew all the British officials of the jurisdiction of the courts of Massachusetts.
• The Quartering Act stated that the colonists had to put quarters the British soldiers.
• The Quebec Act struck large parts of the American hinterland of the mainly French- speaking and Catholic colony of Quebec at.

Other colonies held these laws is intolerable and therefore contributed Massachusetts support. The suggestion of Virginia, that the colonies work together against the British government, led in September 1774 to the First Continental Congress.
