Explanation:

- The Intolerable Acts were a set of punitive laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774 to punish the American colonies, particularly Massachusetts, after the Boston Tea Party.

- These acts included the Boston Port Act, the Massachusetts Government Act, the Administration of Justice Act, and the Quartering Act, which effectively increased British control.

- Colonists found these acts to be unbearable and a violation of their rights, so they dubbed them "Intolerable."
