How did the administration of justice act change local government?

The Administration of Justice Act, part of the Intolerable Acts enacted by Britain in 1774, significantly altered local governance by allowing royal officials accused of crimes to be tried outside the colonies, often in Britain. This undermined local authority and the colonists' trust in their judicial system, as they perceived it as a way for the British government to protect its officials from colonial justice. Consequently, it fueled resentment and contributed to the growing desire for independence among the colonies. The act effectively centralized judicial power and diminished local control, intensifying colonial opposition to British rule.
