Vincent G: Imagine a group of people with a certain beleif like the Raelians(just a example) on a distant asteroid colony and a internal fracus causes the group to split apart and form there own colony but this time there goal is to destroy the Earth and Rule our solar system, independant colonies in space or on a planet without supervision could become a threat to order in the solar system.

Sounds like how the USA started. You can bet they will take their independances the minute they no longer need the Earth for support.

The main thing that would keep colonies in line would be the dependence on materials not available there. Imagine a world where society depended upon 'foreign' (off-world) air or water to maintain itself... Or possibly medecines, energy - anything they weren't 100% self-sufficient on. Earth could simply squeeze this necessary resource, whatever it may be.
However, I agree with a previous answer: nothing, and so what if it did.... That's just the US all over again. I'd probably want to go to the colony if it were there. I'm pretty tired of this world's politics to say the least.

Eris, the main important dwarf planet nicely-known, became got here upon in an ongoing survey at Palomar Observatory's Samuel Oschin telescope by making use of astronomers Mike Brown (Caltech), Chad Trujillo (Gemini Observatory), and David Rabinowitz (Yale college). We formally stated the call on 6 September 2006, and it became standard and introduced on 13 September 2006.

Nothing. Although depending on how nasty Earth wants to get it might not be very wise. We'll have a lot more resources than any colony and space habitats are very fragile things. All it would take to wipe one out is one missile.

There are no space colonies at the current time, you are at least 20-100 years ahead of your time, but your conclusions are not all that off!

Only if Earth was close enough to them in Space/Time

That is the plot of many a science fiction story.

well it sounds farfetched but actually another form of life could take us out or tell us to go away. trust me when we populate planets we will end up with hundreds of populated planets
