What is the cause and effect of the dominion under British control

The Dominion of New England was a union of several New England colonies formed by King James II of England in 1686 and was part of a larger plan to tighten British administration of the colonies. The Dominion formed a mega colony and accomplished three purposes:

Strengthened colonial defense from Native American attacks Collected taxes more efficiently by enforcing the Navigation Acts Established more direct control over the New England colonies
