Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Colonial Charter: A Study of English Administration in Relation Thereto, Chiefly After 1688 The first and most natural. Form Of colonial enterprise was due to individual initiative, the desire of some needy noble or daring younger son to carve out for himself an estate On the virgin continent, where land was to be had for the asking. The first form Of the colonizing charter, therefore, was a fief, but a fief Of a special type, that known as a county palatine, suitable to outlying portions of the kingdom. Where the exigencies of defense and protection needed a government almost sovereign, trammeled but little by the central power. Such were the counties palatine Of Chester and Durham, and under a charter granting a fief Of this type Cabot started forth On his discoveries. In 1598 the palatinate charter was revived for Sir Humphrey Gilbert, who had authority to set tle and govern the lands he should discover, and Raleigh's lost colony of Roanoke was a proprietorship in embryo.

Download or read book The Colonial Charter of Massachusetts written by Isaac Derek Zorea and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2010-08-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Massachusetts Bay Colony received its Charter in 1629, King Charles I guaranteed that its colonists would retain all rights of English citizenship - as if they had never left England. Parliament and King Charles battled over what rights English citizens possessed. Parliament won its battle against King Charles I, when it took his head. After defeating royal absolutism, Parliament established its own form of absolutism toward the American colonies. The American Revolution represents the colonists battle to retrieve the Rights promised within their colonial charters. This book examines the promises within Massachusetts' Charter of 1629, and the method by which John Winthrop transferred political rights to the Bay colony. The Bay colony's Charter is also placed within its proper political context - focusing on England's Constitutional crisis during the Seventeenth century. Finally, this book will illustrate how England's mercantile policies toward the American colonies contributed to breaching the Colonial Charters, and prompting Revolution. In 1629, King Charles promised rights and privileges to Massachusetts settlers. These rights and privileges emanated from a belief in Immutable rights guaranteed by Magna Charta, and the Petition of Rights. When Parliament tried to rescind these guaranteed rights with the Declaratory Act, the Colonists remember what they had been promised. At its most basic level the American Revolution represents a contract breach between England's King and the American Colonists. The colonists believed they had an immutable right to protest their loss of privilege. Parliament believed the colonist had no right to protest concerning their treatment. Revolution was the natural result from this intellectual disagreement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a work of non-fiction. The book is a historical analysis of the evolution of a uniquely American constitutionalism that began with the original English royal charters for the exploration and exploitation of North America. When the U.S. Constitution was written in 1787, the accepted conception of a constitution was that of the British constitution, upon which the colonists had relied in asserting their rights with respect to the imperium, comprised of ancient documents, parliamentary enactments, administrative regulations, judicial pronouncements, and established custom. Of equal significance, the laws comprising the constitution did not differ from other statutes and as a consequence, there was no law endowed with greater sanctity than other legislative enactments. In framing the revolutionary state constitutions following the retreat of the crown governments in the colonies, as well as the later federal Constitution, the Revolutionaries fundamentally reconceived a constitution as being the single authoritative source of fundamental law that was superior to all other statutes, regulations, and judicial decisions, that was ratified by the states and that was subject to revision only through a formal amendment process. This new constitutional conception has been hailed as the great innovation of the revolutionary period, and deservedly so. This American constitutionalism had its origins in the now largely overlooked royal charters for the exploration of North America beginning with the charter granted to Sir Humphrey Gilbert by Elizabeth I in 1578. The book follows the development of this constitutional tradition from the early charters of the Virginia Companies and the covenants entered of the New England colonies, through the proprietary charters of the Middle Atlantic colonies. On the basis of those foundational documents, the colonists fashioned governments that came to be comprised not only of an executive, but an elected legislature and a judiciary. In those foundational documents and in the acts of the colonial legislatures, the settlers sought to harmonize their aspirations for just institutions and individual rights with the exigencies and imperatives of an alien and often hostile environment. When the colonies faced the withdrawal of the crown governments in 1775, they drew on their experience, which they formalized in written constitutions. This uniquely American constitutional tradition of the charters, covenants and state constitutions was the foundation of the federal Constitution and of the process by which the Constitution was written and ratified a decade later.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taxation in Colonial America examines life in the thirteen original American colonies through the revealing lens of the taxes levied on and by the colonists. Spanning the turbulent years from the founding of the Jamestown settlement to the outbreak of the American Revolution, Alvin Rabushka provides the definitive history of taxation in the colonial era, and sets it against the backdrop of enormous economic, political, and social upheaval in the colonies and Europe. Rabushka shows how the colonists strove to minimize, avoid, and evade British and local taxation, and how they used tax incentives to foster settlement. He describes the systems of public finance they created to reduce taxation, and reveals how they gained control over taxes through elected representatives in colonial legislatures. Rabushka takes a comprehensive look at the external taxes imposed on the colonists by Britain, the Netherlands, and Sweden, as well as internal direct taxes like poll and income taxes. He examines indirect taxes like duties and tonnage fees, as well as county and town taxes, church and education taxes, bounties, and other charges. He links the types and amounts of taxes with the means of payment--be it gold coins, agricultural commodities, wampum, or furs--and he compares tax systems and burdens among the colonies and with Britain. This book brings the colonial period to life in all its rich complexity, and shows how colonial attitudes toward taxation offer a unique window into the causes of the revolution.
