Life and Conflict in the Colonies Chapter 2: Sections 4 & 5

Standards: 8.1.1 & 8.2.1 Objective: Today we will learn about law and government in the colonies. So we can understand our own government. We will know we understand it when we can identify the laws passed by the British Parliament between 1764 and 1774 and the result of each law.

VS. Colonial Governments Colonial governments were influenced by political changes in England Some colonists wanted to self-govern Town meetings, representatives of the people, etc. King James II = Wanted more control Appointed governors to limit the powers of the people VS.

VS.

English Bill of Rights Parliament replaces King James in power and passes the English Bill of Rights in 1689 Reduced the powers of the English monarch Parliament becomes powerful Reflection Q: Will things be better with Parliament in control? Thoughts?

English Trade Laws English trade laws limited free trade in the colonies. Reflection Q: What could you replace “free” with in “free trade”? Why would the English government limit free trade?

Great Awakening & Enlightenment The Great Awakening and the Enlightenment led to ideas of political equality among many colonists Great Awakening=Religious movement in the colonies between 1730s-1740s Enlightenment=Using reason and logic to improve society (gov) Reflection Q: If colonists were questioning religion, what else might they question?

French and Indian War France and England fought over control of large portions of North America As the war went on, Britain gained control of Canada and the modern-day U.S. The French and Indian War gave England control of more land in N. America. Reflection: Use the map on p. 60 to create a reflection for the French & Indian War outcome.
