The Coercive Acts, called the Intolerable Acts by the Patriots, came after the Boston Tea Party.
The Constitutional Convention happened first. The Convention ran from May 21 to September 17, 1787; the first essays of the Federalist Papers appeared in New York newspapers on October 5, 1787 and ended on June 27, 1788, shortly after the ninth state (New Hampshire) ratified the Constitution and accepted it as the framework for the new government.
The 4 acts known as the Coercive Acts, or the Intolerable Acts, were passed in April 1774. They were intended to punish Massachusetts over rebellious acts including the Boston Tea Party (December 16, 1773). The First Continental Congress met in September, 1774 and supported Massachusetts in their resistance to the acts. The final end to the effectiveness of the acts came on April 19, 1775 when the first battles of the Revolutionary War were fought, and definitively with the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
Well, The Treaty of Paris came before and after the intolerable acts. The Treaty of Paris (1763) was signed by France and Great Britain at the end of the Seven Year War (French and Indian War) that was the war that actually sparked the American Revolution. Great Britain thought it would be a good idea to get it's money back from winning that war and so decided to start taxing the colonists which finally led to British Parliament passing the Coercive Acts (Intolerable Acts) in 1774. The other Treaty of Paris (1783) was the treaty that was signed by Great Britain and the United States of America at the end of the American Revolution.
The Intolerable Acts were attempts to levy direct taxes on Americans. The tax collectors paid for their jobs. The tax collectors attempted to collect many times the official amount of the tax. The Americans considered that intolerable. The tax collectors were given the right to enter houses and take what they wanted. Actually, in order to understand the intolerable acts, you need to read the Constitution of the United States including the first 10 amendments. The rights granted there were not some wild theory. They were things the King wad doing to the colonists. Thus, when you read the prohibition against ex post facto legislation, that is what the King was doing. When you read about trials without a jury, without the defendant knowing the charges, without the defendant knowing who is testifying against him, and where the defendant does not have a lawyer, you understand the intolerable act. When you read about a legislator being arrested on the floor of congress for his opposition to a bill, that is there due to the intolerable acts. The British Solders came out of the prisons. They were given a choice between joining the army and hanging. They were quartered in American homes. They frequently raped the women. The women did not like that. The Revolution really got going when the British burned the towns of Charleston, Massachusetts, Norfolk, Virginia, and Elizabeth, North Carolina and Raped the women there. The Americans had enough.
The Quartering Act was passed in 1765. The Townshend Acts were passed in 1767. What may be confusing is that the Quartering Act was modified in 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party. This amendment is considered one of the four "Intolerable Acts", which were protested by the Colonists before the Revolutionary War began.
It was very harsh. They were involved in warfare on behalf of Great Britain. But the came the Stamp Act, the Quartering Act, the Townshend Acts, the Tea Act, and the Intolerable Acts. Those acts came in the middle of a recession and led to rebellion and conflict with England. That led to the formation of the Provincial Congress.
The Intolerable Acts started in Britain. King GeorgeIII and Lord North came up with a ton of taxes like the Stamp Act, Quartering Act and many more. They showed the taxes to the British Government and they passed or denied these taxes. The colonists did not have anyone representing them in Britain. This is called "taxation without representation". They sent these laws to the colonists in the "New England" area. This is where the Intolerable Acts took place.

They met to coordinate resistance to the 'Intolerable Acts of 1744' placed on the American Colonies by Britain. This is where the legendary credo: "Give me Liberty, or Give me Death!" came from. Spoke by Patrick Henry.
The Stamp Act came before the Quartering Act.
After the Boston Tea Party, the British clamped down on the Massachusetts colony, and passed what came to be known as the Intolerable Acts. Most colonists were outraged by them; they seemed far too harsh and unjust: colonists felt that the acts strangled commerce and trade, and treated the people of Massachusetts like convicted criminals. Some of the colonists mounted protests, and many refused to comply with these new laws. A few of the more influential colonists, including John Hancock, even wrote to the royal authorities to demand that these acts be repealed immediately. But when nothing seemed to work, the Intolerable Acts led the colonists to decide a revolution was necessary.
