Explanation

The Intolerable Acts included the Massachusetts Government Act, which limited town meetings in Massachusetts unless the governor approved them. Colonists valued these meetings as a way to discuss local issues and make decisions, so restricting them angered many people. The acts did not add new taxes on colonial goods or prevent all trade throughout the colonies.
