Why did parliament pass the coercive acts

The Intolerable Acts, which the British named Coercive Acts, were a series of laws promulgated by the United Kingdom Parliament in 1774 in response to the growing agitation of the thirteen British colonies in North America, especially in Boston following incidents such as the Boston Tea Party. The coming into force of these laws played a major role in the advent of the American War of Independence and the establishment of the Continental Congress.  

The intolerable laws were:

-The Boston Port Act, that closed the Port of Boston for trading.

-The Massachusetts Government Act, that banned city gatherings and revoked the founding charter of the colony.

-The Impartial Administration of Justice Act, that deprived all British officials of the jurisprudence of the Massachusetts courts.

-The Quartering Act, that said that the colonists had to quarter the British soldiers.
