Question 2 • FL-2100010-M/J United States History A-CR

How did the Administration of Justice Act change local government?

Answer
A
It limited who could be tried in Massachusetts judicial courts.
B
It stated that British officials must run all meetings.
C
It made gatherings, such as town meetings, illegal.
D
It established the First Continental Congress.

Explanation

The Administration of Justice Act allowed British officials accused of crimes in Massachusetts to be tried in Britain or another colony instead of locally. This limited which cases could be tried in Massachusetts courts, so A is the best answer. The law did not make town meetings illegal; that restriction came from the Massachusetts Government Act.
