Answer: Massachusetts Government Act

Step-by-step explanation:

The Massachusetts Government Act was one of the Four Intolerable Acts that the British passed over the colonies to punish dissent and maintain full control of the colonies.

The Massachusetts Government Act gave more power to the Crown through the royal governor. It took away the right of the people to vote for their own executive council, prevented the legislature from making laws and outlawed townhall and public meeting without royal assent.
