Colonial Governments Colonial Government: A colonial government is a government that is in charge of a colony. It makes the laws and rules for the people that live in that colony. * All colonies were ultimately controlled by the king. Each government in the colonies (colonial government) had to have a charter (written permission) from the king in order to be in power. Proprietary Colony: Many of the 13 colonies were proprietary colonies. That means that the king gave these lands to people. Because those people owned the land, they were called proprietors. In a proprietary colony, the proprietor (owner) gets to make the laws and/or say who is in charge.

Royal Colony: In a royal colony, the king is directly in charge of the people. He gets to make the laws and picks who is in charge of the place. The person he picks is usually called a royal governor.

Self- government: self government means that people who have to follow the laws get to make their own laws or picks who can make them. Do you think self government existed in the colonies?

Chapter 3.4 Life in the English Colonies Main Ideas: Colonial governments were influenced by political changes in England. English trade laws limited free trade in the colonies. The Great Awakening and the Enlightenment led to ideas of political equality among many colonists. The French and Indian War gave England control of more land in North America. Big Idea: The English colonies continued to grow despite many challenges.

Colonial Economy English Trade Laws: - England established the colonies to make money. - They practiced mercantilism – a system of carefully controlling trade with its colonies so that they can build and maintain wealth. - England did not allow colonists to trade specific items (like sugar and cotton) with any other country asides from them. - They also taxed all items that the colonies wanted to trade.
