Edmund Andros did not let the colonist have their representative assemblies and let them only have their meetings once a year
Sir Edmund Andros was overthrown primarily due to his authoritarian rule and unpopular policies in the Dominion of New England, which combined multiple colonies under a centralized government. His attempts to enforce the Navigation Acts, suppress local assemblies, and impose taxes without consent led to widespread discontent among colonists. The Glorious Revolution in England in 1688, which resulted in the overthrow of King James II, inspired colonists to rebel against Andros, culminating in his arrest and removal from power in 1689. This event marked a significant moment in colonial resistance to authoritarian governance.
The last royal governor of the American colonies was Sir Edmund Andros, who governed the Dominion of New England from 1686 to 1689. His tenure ended when he was overthrown during the Glorious Revolution in England, leading to the re-establishment of self-governance in the colonies. After Andros, the role of royal governors continued in various colonies, with the last royal governor of any colony being William Tryon of North Carolina, who served until the American Revolution in 1775.

The Glorious Revolution brought a new type of government to Britain. England now had a Protestant ruler and a Bill of Rights meaning there was no longer an absolute power. This had little effect on the colonies and empire because parliament as well as the monarchy wanted to expand British rule because of the economic growth new territories allowed.
