5-2 Roots of Representative Government Essential Question: By placing Royal Governors in the colonies what was the British king taking away from the colonists?

Terms names and Why it matters Colonists expected the government to protect their basic rights. Today we expect the same rights to be protected by our government Terms: Magna Carta, Parliament, English Bill of Rights, salutary neglect, John Peter Zenger

Rights of Englishmen Magna Carta: a document signed by king John in 1215 Ensured the rights of the English noblemen and freemen the king could not Seize property Could not tax without the tax being agreed on Be put in jail for a crime without a witness Punish without a jury of peers, of the same social rank

Parliament England’s chief lawmaking body Two houses House of Commons: elected people House of Lords: non elected people: nobles, judges, and church officials Monarchy: King and Queen

Parliament and the Colonies Colonists governed themselves by forming elected assemblies Parliament still had control over the colonies Parliament passed laws without representation from the colonists colonists didn’t like the laws and began clashing with the royal governors

Royal Governor’s King James wanted to rule England and the colonies with total authority Edmund Andros: royal governor in the colonies Angered the colonists Stopped representative assemblies Only allowed town meetings once a year colonists complain that they are being taxed without having a voice in government

Glorious Revolution King James was removed from the throne for not respecting the rights of the people William and Mary become King and Queen of England Agree to follow the English Bill of Rights: agreement to respect citizens and Parliament Monarchy could not cancel laws or impose taxes without Parliament agreeing Excessive fines and punishments outlawed, people could complain about the monarchy without punishment

Power in the Colonies Colonists jailed Andros Took back their assemblies Governor’s had the power to strike down the assemblies but rarely did Governor’s did not enforce the laws established by Parliament on trade, use of money, apprenticeships England interfered very little with colonial affairs Salutary neglect: hands off Colonists are used to being on their own

Zenger Trial John Peter Zenger: publisher for New York Weekly Put in jail for printing criticism of the New York governor Defender said people have the right to speak the truth Jury agrees Zenger is released from jail First steps toward Freedom Of the Press
