The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The actions of the colonial legislatures towards governors showed a weakening relationship with England in the colonies because colonists were angry and tired of the heavy taxation imposed by the English crown. Taxation such as the Navigation Acts, the Stamp Act, or the Tea Act. Colonists decide to make their own legislation as was the case of the first legislature in North America that was the House of Burgesses in Jamestown, Virginia.

Things got worse between the colonies and the English government because American colonists did not have any voice or representation in the British Parliament. This was a major cause of the beginning of the Revolutionary War of Independence in 1775.
