when were the intolerable acts passed

The Intolerable Acts were passed in 1774. Specifically, four acts were enacted by Parliament in March–April 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party of December 1773: the Boston Port Bill, the Massachusetts Government Act, the Administration of Justice Act, and the Quartering Act. A fifth act, the Quebec Act, was passed in the same session and is often grouped with the others by historians, though it targeted governance in Quebec rather than Massachusetts. The acts collectively aimed to punish Massachusetts and tighten British control, fueling colonial outrage and helping precipitate the American Revolutionary War.
