	Intolerable Acts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Intolerable Acts, called by the British the Coercive Acts or Punitive Acts, were a series of laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774 in response to the growing unrest in thirteen American colonies, particularly in Boston, Massachusetts after incidents such as the Boston Tea Party.
		The Quebec Act was also passed in 1774, but it was a piece of legislation unrelated to the Coercive Acts.
		Their main complaints over the acts were the protections granted to the Indian territories, and to the Catholic settlers in Ohio.

		The new set of acts, while important in itself, was not as important as the new question that came ringing across the ocean to echo in the halls of Parliament.
		The second act, called the Quebec Act, took away portions of land that were meant for the north western colonies and extended the border of Canada.

		Parliament responded with new laws that the colonists called the "Coercive or Intolerable Acts." The first, the Boston Port Bill, closed the port of Boston until the tea was paid for -- an action that threatened the very life of the city, for to prevent Boston from having access to the sea meant economic disaster.
		The Quebec Act, passed at nearly the same time, extended the boundaries of the province of Quebec and guaranteed the right of the French inhabitants to enjoy religious freedom and their own legal customs.
		Though the Quebec Act had not been passed as a punitive measure, it was classed by the Americans with the Coercive Acts, and all became known as the "Five Intolerable Acts."

	The Decision Making Process
		It is important to note that subjective probabilities that a positive or negative outcome will result for the person employing coercive acts may or may not be consistent with objective probabilities.
		The first is opportunity costs, such as a person’s time, effort, and the expenditure of resources, which are voluntarily incurred by the individual for having the opportunity to exercise his or her influence.
		For example, an individual with a much higher level of coercive power will be more likely to use coercion because he or she anticipates success with minimal costs incurred.
