The Bay Colonists overthrew Sir Edmund Andros in 1689 primarily due to his unpopular governance, which included the enforcement of the Dominion of New England that centralized control and revoked local self-government. His policies, such as increased taxes without consent and restrictions on town meetings, fueled resentment among colonists. Additionally, Andros's perceived favoritism towards the Church of England alienated Puritan settlers, leading to a revolt when news of the Glorious Revolution in England inspired them to act against his rule.
