The anger among colonists over the Intolerable Acts of 1774 was largely due to the prohibition of town meetings in Massachusetts. This restriction, imposed by the Massachusetts Government Act, directly attacked colonial self-governance and was part of a broader punitive response to colonial resistance. The colonists viewed these actions as an infringement on their rights, leading to greater unity against British rule.
