Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book meticulously chronicles the evolution of executive power in the American colonies established prior to the Restoration, a pivotal period in the development of self-governance in the New World. The author traces how the original charters granted by the English Crown established a framework for governing these nascent societies, with limited provisions for popular participation. However, the book reveals that the American colonists gradually transformed these frameworks to suit their needs, leading to the emergence of elected assemblies and the expansion of the governor's role beyond that of a mere agent of the Crown. The book also explores the complex relationship between the colonial executives and the mother country, highlighting the tension between the desire for local autonomy and the need for imperial oversight. By examining the various models of executive power established in colonies such as Virginia and Massachusetts, this book sheds light on the origins of American concepts of governance and the enduring legacy of the colonial era on the development of democracy in the United States.
