How did the government under the Lords Proprietors in South Carolina compare to the governments in the other colonies?

Since colonists could be elected into lordship, it was considered more democratic than other colonies.


The lords held council with citizens, giving them a greater voice than colonists in other areas.


It created a ruling elite, similar to other colonies, because the lords were able to give out titles of nobility.


It replaced the ruling elite, making South Carolina more advanced than the other colonies.

Answer:

This type of government created a ruling elite, similar to other colonies.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. This question is from the K12 quiz, and I took the quiz.

2. ," a proprietor is an owner or manager. As such, these men were given the power to rule the colony. The charter gave the Lords Proprietors sweeping power-almost as much as the king. They could declare war and make peace, raise an army, sentence people to death, create towns, collect taxes, and oversee trade,"
