Governing the Colonies

The English Parliamentary Tradition In England 1215, English nobles forced King John to sign the Magna Carta The Magna Carta was significant because it was the first document to put restrictions on an English ruler’s power It said the king could not raise taxes, people had the right to own property, and right to trial by jury King John Signs the Magna Carta

The British Parliament The British Parliament was a two-house legislature made up of two houses: the House of Lords and the House of Commons This will be the law making body for England up to modern times The British Parliament ca. 1600s

English Bill of Rights In 1689, King William and Queen Mary signed the English Bill of Rights The Bill of Rights: – Restated many rights (trial by jury) – Upheld habeas corpus – King could not levy taxes without the Parliament – Influenced American Bill of Rights 100 years later King William III

Colonial Self-Government The colonists expected to have a voice in their government, just like their English counterparts Many colonies establish their own governments (House of Burgesses, General Court) Not everybody had a voice though (women, Natives, Africans)

Freedom of the Press In 1735, John Peter Zenger, a publisher, printed articles criticizing the New York governor He was charged with libel His lawyer, Andrew Hamilton, argued the articles were based on fact Zenger was found innocent and his court case helped establish freedom of the press The Trial of Peter Zenger
