How did events of the 1680s, such as the Dominion of New England, inspire colonial resistance to British control?

The Glorious Revolution placed Catholic monarchs in power over Britain, leading to fears of an end to religious toleration of Protestants.
Ideas of the Enlightenment assured British colonists in their belief in having rights such as self-government as British citizens.
Rampant piracy and smuggling among the American colonies led to frustration with Britain's lack of effective policy enforcement.
Policies reduced the power and authority of the Puritans in New England in favor of newly arrived British governors who were irreligious.

The correct answer is B) Ideas of the Enlightenment assured British colonists in their belief in having rights such as self-government as British citizens.

The events of the 1680s, such as the Dominion of New England, inspired colonial resistance to British control in that "Ideas of the Enlightenment assured British colonists in their belief in having rights such as self-government as British citizens."

The New England Dominion of 1686 was the merge of the colonies of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire, into one single colony called the New England Dominion.

Of course, colonists strongly opposed to the British decision and the imposition of Edmund Andros as governor of the Dominion. They considered Andros and arrogant and inaccessible person. Puritans were infurie¿ated when he imposed the Church of England as the official religion of the Dominion. Colonists also rejected the new taxes.
