Answer:

D. King James II was forced from power.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Glorious Revolution took place in 1688-1689 in England and removed the Catholic King James II and replaced him with his daughter Mary that was Protestant.

This impacted American Colonies because the Revolution changed the way England governed, colonists were temporarily freed of strict anti-puritan laws that King James imposed to them.

Answer:

A. The dominion of New England was overthrown is correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the news of the Glorious revolution reached the colonies the colonialists were delighted to hear about the revolution as they finally got the opportunity to get rid of Dominion of New England. Massachusetts was the first colony to revolt because king James Two had asserted more control over the colonies by replacing the local puritan- governments with royally-appointed one. On April 18 people gathered in the streets of Boston for overthrowing the governor of New England. It came to be known as Boston revolt.
