Answer:
The correct answer is that Georgia passed from being originally a proprietary colony, founded by James Oglethorpe, and named after George II, to become a crown colony, or royal colony.
Step-by-step explanation:
Georgia´s origin, as a colony, started in 1732, with the arrival of James Oglethorpe, and other British subjects, who intended to form a colony for people who had been condemned in England for debt. He wanted to offer these people a new place to start, and this was granted by King George II, which is also the reason why it received the name of Georgia. Initially, this colony, aside from being a safe haven for debtors, also was intended to remain a free state, with no room for slaves, and finally, it was also intended as a buffer between other English colonies and the Spanish colony of Florida. It was then established as a proprietary colony, under the control of a council of trustees, and Oglethorpe, who depended entirely on the subsidies and annual income given to them by the British Parliament. But then, Oglethorpe left the colony, and the council realized it was not possible to maintain the colony as it was, so they drafted a petition to King George II in 1752, asking for a change in the status. In 1755, the King approved this and Georgia became a royal, or crown, colony.
