Explanation:

Massachusetts was the only colony that elected their own leaders since its charter allowed them more freedom than any other colony. After the Boston Tea Party, the British parliament decided to punish Massachusetts by sending their own governor and establishes severe penalties and laws. In a practical sense, the governor only ruled in Boston because the British were there, but the rest of Massachusetts remained extremely pro-independence and basically ruled itself as it had before.
