Administration of Justice Act--gave accused British officers the right to move the trial to their home country (England)

Quartering Act--forced colonists to open their homes to British soldiers and feed and house them for an indefinite amount of time

Quebec Act--not related to Boston Tea Party, and therefore sometimes exclused from list of Coercive Acts; enlarged "Province of Quebec" and let people freely practice Roman Catholicism
