The Quartering Act forced colonists to house or quarter British troops even forcing them to live in their own homes.
The Enforcement Act called the Intolerable Act by the settlers included the new Quarter Act, which created provisions for quartering British troops in American homes. It revived the settlers' anger over the previous Residence Act of 1765 which was allowed to expire in 1770.
In England, the law was called compulsory law. The British government passed intolerable laws as punishment for the colonies for the Boston Tea Party. They were to punish the Massachusetts settlers for resisting dumping large amounts of tea into Boston Harbor. The Compulsory Acts passed in 1774 were a series of laws that restricted trade and strengthened British control over Boston and the rest of Massachusetts.
