Final answer:

It is false that innkeepers must accept an unlimited amount of guest property for safekeeping, as their liabilities differ by state. Also, it is false that proprietors of a proprietary colony had no responsibilities other than collecting profits; they had to manage and govern the colony.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that in every state, an innkeeper is required to accept for safe keeping an unlimited amount of personal property from the guest is false. Innkeepers are not legally bound to accept an unlimited amount of personal property for safekeeping. Laws regarding innkeepers' liabilities and responsibilities may vary by state, but typically there are limitations on the amount and type of property for which an innkeeper could be held responsible. Moving on to the second part, the assertion that in a proprietary colony, the Proprietors have no responsibilities except to collect the profits is also false. Proprietary colonies were granted by the British crown to one or more proprietors who had full governing rights. These proprietors had the responsibility to manage the colony, which included various duties such as the creation of laws, establishment of the economy, and defense of the colony, among others.
