Intolerable Acts. Laws that cannot be tolerated.

I'm sure if you heard any American history, you have heard of the Intolerable Acts (Coercive Acts). They were the laws Britain put in place after the Boston Tea Party.

The Boston Port Act, the first of the Intolerable Acts; passed in 1774; the response to the Boston Tea Party. The act shutdown the port of Boston until the colonists paid for the destroyed tea and until the king was satisfied that he once again has control over the area.

The Massachusetts Government Act. created so much more outrage than the Port Act because it unilaterally took away Massachusetts' charter and brought it under control of the British government. Under the terms of the Government Act, almost all positions in the colonial government were to be appointed by the governor, Parliament, or king. The act also severely limited the activities of town meetings in Massachusetts to one meeting a year, unless the Governor called for one. Colonists outside Massachusetts feared that their governments could now also be changed by the legislative fiat of Parliament.

The Administration of Justice Act, allowed the Royal governor to order that trials of accused royal officials take place in Great Britain or elsewhere within the Empire if he decided that the defendant could not get a fair trial in Massachusetts. Although the act stipulated for witnesses to be reimbursed after having traveled at their own expense across the Atlantic, it was not stipulated that this would include reimbursement for lost earnings during the period for which they would be unable to work, leaving few with the ability to testify. George Washington called this the "Murder Act" because he believed that it allowed British officials to harass Americans and then escape justice. Many colonists believed the act was unnecessary because British soldiers had been given a fair trial following the Boston Massacre in 1770.

The Quartering Act, effected to all of the colonies and sought to create a more effective method of housing British troops in America. In a previous act, the colonies had been required to provide housing for soldiers, but colonial legislatures had been uncooperative in doing so. The new Quartering Act allowed a governor to house soldiers in other buildings if suitable quarters were not provided. While many sources claim that the Quartering Act allowed troops to be billeted in occupied private homes, historian David Ammerman's 1974 study claimed that this is a myth, and that the act only permitted troops to be quartered in unoccupied buildings.

These laws led to so much outrage we now remember them as The Intolerable Acts.

In the 21st Century, I can tell you once again; less than 300 years later. We yet again have many; Intolerable Acts.

USA PATRIOT Act - “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001”

After 9/11; Congress, Senate, and President George W. Bush all signed the USA PATRIOT Act into law. 

• It practically dissolves the U.S. Citizens 4th Amendment; following 9/11.

Reform was then forced to be looked into when Edward Snowden revealed that the NSA was spying and watching American Civilians, unaware through webcams and having alot of data on all Americans and throughout the world. With all this revealed the USA Freedom Act (Uniting and Strengthening America by Fulfilling Rights and Ending Eavesdropping, Dragnet-collection and Online Monitoring Act) was considered to some to be a reform for the problem; but it doesn't fully hit every single problem.

NDAA (Insert Year Here) -National Defense Authorization Act-

The NDAA from 2012 to present has truly showed to be equally Unconstitutional and Intolerable. as the USA PATRIOT Act. Taking liberties away, from each American citizen.

 In 2012 Subsections 1021–1022 of Title X, Subtitle D, entitled "Counter-Terrorism", authorizing the indefinite military detention of persons the government suspects of involvement in terrorism, including U.S. citizens arrested on American soil."

• It dissolves the 5th Amendment and Habeas Corpus. (2012)

Here is Ron Paul going over problems even in the current, NDAA 2017:

FISA : Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act - (October 25, 1978 - Present)

Created a spying enterprise with it's own Secret Court (FISC) who is only a Rubber Stamp court.

• Operates without the 4th Amendment, because of the Court being Secret and also approves over 99.97 percent of Warrants.

There are also many more Intolerable Acts that exist in the USA. Rachel Blevins' will go over more with you.
