In response to the Boston Tea Party, which occurred in December 1773, the British Parliament enacted the Intolerable Acts in 1774. These acts were designed to punish the Massachusetts colony and deter similar acts of defiance from other colonies. The Intolerable Acts included measures such as closing Boston Harbor and revoking the Massachusetts Charter. The other acts you mentioned—the Townshend Acts, the Stamp Act, and the Declaratory Act—were passed prior to the Boston Tea Party.
