british crown
president

Explanation:

During the colonial period, the British Crown (monarchy) had authority over the colonies. Enlightenment ideas promoted questioning monarchical power. Local courts were part of the colonial or British system, and the colonies didn't have a president at that time (before independence). So the group that would be seen as taking away rights, in line with Enlightenment - inspired questioning of monarchical power, is the British Crown.

B. British Crown
