Answer:

It banned colonial assembly.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Massachusetts Government Act of 1774 was passed by the British Parliament. It basically wiped the colonial government structure since Massachusetts had a relatively independent local government. Through this act a governor was appointed by the King of England and local government entities were eliminated. What made Massachusetts unique among the colonies was that its citizens could elect council members and local officers, and that right was taken away from them.
