Under the Dominion of New England, American colonists

The Dominion of New England placed several colonies under a royal governor, Sir Edmund Andros, who limited local self-government and imposed policies without elected colonial assemblies. Colonists saw these actions as violating their traditional rights, including protections they associated with the Magna Carta. Therefore, the correct choice is “felt the rights secured for them by the Magna Carta were being violated.”
