Patrick Henry giving his famous speech A Voice in Government Colonists were used to having a VOICE in government from the beginning, although under England’s rule. Patrick Henry giving his famous speech

Legislature Each colony elected representatives to the colonial Legislature Legislature – a group of people chosen to make the laws. John Trumbull's painting of the Continental Congress The Declaration of Independence, 4 July 1776

Charter The colonies were created through CHARTERS Charter – a document giving permission to create a government. If they challenged England’s rule, the colony could be stripped of their charter. Connecticut's Charter

WHO COULD VOTE? Only WHITE men who owned land could vote or hold office. This was still more than in most places. The English colonies were one of the few places were citizens participated in government. This was a stepping stone to more individual freedoms

Roots of Freedom Individual freedoms, like freedom of Religion and the Press were unknown throughout most of human history.

Heritage They became part of our heritage through colonists’ efforts. Heritage – the traditions passed down to us from generation to generation.

Religious Freedom In most places, religion was closely tied to government. Many colonists (ex. Puritans) came to America for religious freedom.

Religious Freedom The United States was founded on the idea of religious freedom. Religious freedom meant that a person could belong to any CHRISTIAN CHURCH. This did not mean members of non-Christian faiths.

Religious Freedom Although their definition of religious freedom was different than ours today, it was an important stepping stone.

Freedom of the Press Under English law, newspaper publishers were NOT allowed to criticize government.

John Peter Zenger Put on trial for publishing articles accusing the Governor of New York abusing power. He was found NOT GUILTY The verdict did not change law, but inspired others to fight for the right to have freedom of the press

Royal Authority Used to having a voice in government, the colonies resisted any attempts to ignore their rights or to weaken their legislatures. Colonial governors were appointed by king, not elected. Looked out for England’s interest, not the colonies’

Royal Authority Because England was busy fighting wars they had little time for colonies. As a result, colonies were left alone to govern themselves.

Signs of Discontent By the mid-1700’s, England had tightened its reigns on the colonies. It needed money help pay for war and it wanted the colonies to help pay.

Signs of Discontent Once the wars were over, England had more time to be involved with governing the colonies.

Signs of Discontent Some royal governors started using their power with no regard for citizens’ rights. Colonists were angry by this and began to complain increasingly about tyranny. Tyranny – the abuse of POWER.

What is this leading to??
