How did the Massachusetts Government Act of 1774 change the way Massachusetts was governed?

The Massachusetts Government Act of 1774 restricted self-government by changing the colony’s charter and placing more power in the hands of the royal governor. It sharply limited the Massachusetts assembly, so the best choice is “It banned colonial assembly.” The act did not close Boston Harbor; that was a separate measure, the Boston Port Act.
