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.
