The rights the colonists had as English citizens was that they had the same rights as the people living in England. Basically, there were no changes between the colonists and the English citizens.

The English colonists believed they could have the same rights as English citizens because they considered themselves to be English subjects. They viewed their settlement in the colonies as an extension of the English nation and believed they were entitled to the same rights and protections as those living in England.
