Intolerable acts such as Boston tea party act, Administering justice act, Massachusetts act and Quartering acts were passed by the British crown which repressed the American colonies who were not given enough representation in the parliament.
Explanation:
English East India company was ailing financially and hence to gain stability, it started to persuade the colonists to buy tea which was high in price. The colonists could not afford to pay such a heavy price and hence they bought the local dutch tea leaves. British also started to inflict some small and secret taxes. The local merchants in the american colonies got annoyed as Britain is trying to give a tough competition forcing the people to buy the British tea leaves. All colonies refused to accept the East India Tea and Boston gave a tough defiance. Boston patriots came in the guise of the Native American Indians and toppled more than three hundred chests of tea leaves into the sea and the Boston ports were closed for trade.
Following this, administering justice act which gave authority to the British officers to imprison and give death penalty to the colonists who seemed to not obey the crown and pay taxes. Massachusetts act gave Britain full authority over Massachusetts Government which was considered to be bitter by the Natives who lived there. Finally, quartering act insisted the colonists to give free accommodation, lodging and food to the British soldiers in their residence which was considered to be atrocious. Annoyed colonists, plunged into protests desiring secession from homeland.
