1 Unit 4: Colonial Life Lesson 8: Colonial Government: Foundations of Self-Government
2 COLONIAL GOVERNMENT S Royal Governor Appointed by king or queen Had final approval of laws Oversaw colonial trade Could dismiss the colonial assembly Council Appointed by governor Board of advisors to governor Acted as highest court in each colony Colonial Assembly Elected by colonists who could vote Made laws Had authority to tax Paid governor s salary
3 VOTING By the 1720s all the colonies had laws that restricted the right to vote to white Christian men over the age of 21 who owned property
4 The Assembly had the power of the purse. This meant it had the sole power of taxation and also could refuse to grant the governor his salary.

6 Connecting Back House of Burgesses Mayflower Compact N. E. Town Meetings The desire to have a say in their government.

8 REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT After the House of Burgesses was begun in 1619 in Virginia, other colonies began to form their own representative assemblies. Massachusetts Bay did so in 1634 and then in 1639 Plymouth and Maryland did the same. The English felt the right to elect representatives to government was one of their most important rights. They brought this belief with them to North America.
9 GOVERNMENT IN BRITAIN The King of England was the head of the English government, but the main lawmaking body was the Parliament. This became the colonists model for representative government. The Parliament had two houses. One was called the House of Commons. This was a group of men elected by the people. The other was called the House of Lords. This was made up of an appointed group of nobles, judges, and church officials.

13 IMPORTANT POINT! Although the colonies were under the control of the king and Parliament, Britain did not interfere much in the late 1600 s and the first half of the 1700 s. Each colony developed its own government and even though the majority ended up royal colonies under the leadership of a royal governor, colonists still had some say in their government. REASONS: Britain had problems with other countries such as France. A large ocean separated the colonies Britain had internal problems such as a civil war.
14 LOCAL GOVERNMENTS NEW ENGLAND MIDDLE COLONIES SOUTHERN COLONIES Based on towns and town meetings Borrowed ideas from both other regions. Had a mixed system of county and town. Based on counties instead of towns
15 Town Meeting Simulation The town is a very small one with only eight school-age children. They have been attending school in the home of the Parker family. The town pays for a teacher to teach the children. Now the town is starting to grow and some people want to use town funds to build a school. Other people would like to see town funds used for other things. They feel it is enough for the town to pay for the teacher. The town meeting is being held in order to decide whether or not to build a school.
16 You are Mr. Parker. School is currently being held in your home. This has been fine with your family. However, now that the town is growing you feel there are too many students to hold school in your home. You think a school should be built. You will be the leader at the town meeting. You will choose people to speak and keep order. In the end you will call for a vote in order to make a decision. You do not have any children. Therefore, you favor spending town funds on something else rather than a school. You think building a second bridge over the river would be a better idea than a school. You are the parent of one of the school children. You feel the town needs its own school because it is starting to grow. You feel it is difficult to have school in the Parker house. You are the teacher in the town. You feel it is hard to teach in the home of a family and want a separate school. You are a church leader in the town. You want to see town funds spent improving the church. You feel the teacher and students have plenty of room in the Parker home for school. You do not want to spend town funds on anything right now. You think the money should be saved for an emergency like a fire in the town. You feel that education is very important and that the town definitely needs a school of its own. You feel a school will help attract more people to the town and help the town grow. You don t like to see things change too quickly. You have visited the teacher and students during school at the Parker house. You feel they are doing fine there. They looked happy and they were learning.
17 Town Meeting Reflection Sheet What role did you play in the meeting? What did you learn from playing this role? What did you contribute to this activity? How did you vote? Why? What do you think was an advantage of making decisions through a town meeting? What do you think was a disadvantage?
