Which statement best summarizes the control the Lords Proprietors had in South

Carolina?

The Lords lived among the other colonists and were greatly disliked for their
strict rules

They were given almost as much power as the king, which included collecting
taxes and declaring war.

They were eager to share their power with large landowners and freely gave out
titles of nobility

They had little power and were forced to seek approval from the king for any
new law.

Answer:

They were given almost as much power as the king, which included collecting

taxes and declaring war.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lord propietors were persons appointed by the King that had letters of property for certain lands, they had power to appoint new laws, institutions, churches and were virtually kings of the land that the king gave them in exchange for a fraction of the income created in that given land, that included collecting taxes and declaring war. They also had the power to create and appoint new governments and governors within their territory.
