	Intolerable Acts - MSN Encarta
		Intolerable Acts, popular name given to a series of laws passed by the British Parliament in March 1774 as punitive measures against the colony of Massachusetts; also called Coercive Acts.
		The Boston Port Act closed the port of Boston to trade; the Massachusetts Government Act revoked the colony's charter and forbade town meetings; the Quartering Act required the colonists to provide billets for British soldiers; and the Impartial Administration of Justice Act removed British officials from the jurisdiction of Massachusetts courts.
		At the same time, Parliament enacted the Québec Act, which many colonists associated with the Intolerable Acts because it expanded the territory of Québec and did not allow for representative government in that colony.

		INTOLERABLE ACTS [Intolerable Acts] name given by American patriots to five laws (including the Quebec Act) adopted by Parliament in 1774, which limited the political and geographical freedom of the colonists.
		Other acts changed the royal charter of Massachusetts; provided for the quartering of troops—the New York assembly had earlier (1767-69) been suspended for refusing to make provisions for British troops—in the colony without provincial consent; and gave royal officials in conflict with colonial authorities the right to trial in England.
		American opposition to these laws and to the Quebec Act was felt in all the colonies, since the actions taken against Massachusetts might be extended to any colony and the Quebec Act was considered a violation of the sea-to-sea grants of many colonial charters.
