Question

How were colonial governments organized in the English colonies?​

Answer 1

There were three types of British colonies: royal, proprietary, and self-governing.

Step-by-step explanation

Royal governing: Whichever governor the king chose to govern the colonies governed the colonies.

Proprietary governing: Proprietary colonies were territories granted by the English Crown to one or more proprietors who had full governing rights.

Self-Governing: The colonists chose people to represent them. They ruled a colony, community, or another group by its members. They made their own laws, representatives, etc...

Each colony had a governor who served as head of the government. In some colonies the people also elected representatives to help make laws and set policy.
