    Another name for Coercive Acts was Intolerable Acts. Under the name of Coercive Acts the British Parliament passed in 1774 a number of four acts in the form of punishment Laws to punish the colonies for acts of destruction of what they considered British properties upon the famous Boston Tea Party. In America the acts were known as Intolerable Acts.

    The Coercive Acts were officially called the Restraining Acts, but Americans called them the Intolerable Acts. They included the Boston Port Act (June 1, 1774), the Quartering Act (June 2, 1774), the Administration of Justice Act (May 20, 1774), and the Massachusetts Government Act (May 20, 1774). These acts were a response to the Boston Tea Party and were an attempt to restore order in the colonies. They were instrumental in leading the colonies on the path to war. Massachusetts gained sympathy from other colonies. The First Continental Congress was called, and met in Philadelphia in September, 1774. And many of the more moderate colonists began to move toward more radical views, surprised over the harsh response of the British government to the actions of the colonists.
