The Intolerable Acts was the name that colonists gave to The Coercive Acts enacted by the British monarchy to the American colonies in 1774. It consisted of four punitive laws that aimed at restoring order in Massachusetts and punish Bostonian for their "Tea Party" (a political protest from American colonists that occurred in December 1773).
One of the provisions of the act provided for a new version of an old act that had been issued in 1765 and had expired in 1770: The Quartering Act. Under the new Quartering Act, Colonists were ordered to feed and house British troops in unoccupied American dwellings.
