Colonial legislatures increasingly asserted their authority over colonial governors, often defying their directives and refusing to fund their salaries or initiatives without local consent. This shift demonstrated a growing sense of self-governance and autonomy, as colonists began to prioritize local interests over those of the British Crown. The tension escalated as legislatures passed laws that conflicted with imperial policy, reflecting a clear move away from reliance on England and toward a desire for independence. Ultimately, these actions signified a growing assertion of colonial identity and a rejection of British control.
