The Massachusetts Government Act was part of a series of measures known as the Coercive Acts or Intolerable Acts, passed by the British Parliament in 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party. This act altered the Massachusetts charter of 1691 by, among other things, allowing the royal governor to appoint sheriffs, who then named the juries, thus undermining local control.
