58. The Grand Council  Made laws (including tax laws) for the colony  Bicameral (two houses) assembly…most English colonies had this

59.  The Proprietors and the elite had more representation (power) in government than the common people  The Grand Council decided that a majority of each group (the Proprietors, Elite and Common People) should have an equal say in the government

60. Problem…..  Each group did not represent a proportional amount of the population  Ex: Very few plantation owners but they have just as much power as the other groups

61. Another Problem…..  Lowcountry representation was much greater than that of the Backcountry  In order to represent the common people, the Grand Council established the Commons House of Assembly

67. Royal Colony Government  The king appointed a governor to run SC  However, SC continued to have a self government through their representative assembly  This limited the royal governor’s power because they assembly controlled the taxes and paid the governor’s salary

72. The Backcountry of SC  More immigrants began moving to the backcountry of SC (Scotch Irish and Germans)  Population in the backcountry began to outnumber the population in the lowcountry  Despite having a large population, the backcountry still had less representation in the Assembly than the lowcountry

73. The Regulator Movement  During the mid 1700s, horse thieves and criminals began moving to the backcountry  There was no courts, jails or law enforcement of any kind (received no help from the gov’t…remember controlled by the lowcountry!)  Settlers in the backcountry began to take the law into their own hands…The Regulator Movement
