The Intolerable Acts were a series of punishments placed on the colonists after they destroyed over $1 million dollars worth of tea during the Boston Tea Party. One part of this law was the Quartering Act. This law was seen by many colonists as a clear violation of individual privacy.
The Quartering Act essentially made it a law that colonists had to share their home with British soldiers if requested to do so. This meant providing shelter, food, etc. Colonists were outraged by this law, as none of their colonial representatives voted on this law.
