Presentation transcript:

The Colonial Government : - this meant that Britain appointed the people who had the power to make decisions in the colonies - In each colony there was a governor and members of the colony’s governing councils - Each colony also had an assembly which was elected by people living in the colonies - The assembly had less power than the governor and the councils - The assembly could not make decisions for the colony, it could only advise the governor and councils

Who has power in a democracy? - Voters - Voters elect the people who have decision- making authority - This means that voters have a lot of power - They choose the decision makers who reflect their values and attitudes

What did the reformers want? - Question: What’s a reformer? - The reformers wanted to change the government of BNA - They wanted complete authority to make the decisions that affected their own lives

More on the reformers…. - Some reformers advocated changing the power structure of government while maintaining ties to Britain - Other reformers advocated ending British rule all together and establishing a republic -all reformers wanted voters to have more power
