Intolerable Acts

( 1774 ) Commentary by Taylor Stoermer, John Hopkins University

About the Author

Though each of the Intolerable Acts was introduced and managed through the House of Commons by Frederick North (1732–1792), second Earl of Guilford, as George III's prime minister, it is impossible to identify the author(s) of the individual pieces of legislation.
