Answer 2

This term became famous during the era of British Imperialism. Under this system the British colonies which were under the Crown rule were given the chance to form their own autonomous government. Though the government thus formed was autonomous it still owed allegence to the crown. And these states were termed as dominion states. Because it projected the idea of self governance of the state but also at the same was subject to the crown.
