GPT-5 mini · Answer

It limited who could be tried in Massachusetts judicial courts.

Explanation: The Administration of Justice Act (one of the Intolerable/Coercive Acts) allowed royal officials accused of crimes in Massachusetts to be tried in another colony or in Britain if the governor decided a fair trial was unlikely locally, thereby restricting local jurisdiction. The restriction on town meetings was from the Massachusetts Government Act; the Act did not create the First Continental Congress nor require British officials to run all meetings.
