A propos de cet article

Newspaper. The London Gazette, February 9, 1690, 2 pp., 6 1/4 x 11 1/4 in. Pennsylvania founder William Penn supported James II during the Glorious Revolution, James's attempt to regain the English throne. When William and Mary ascended the throne, Penn was suspected of treason. "A Proclamation For Discovering and Apprehending the late Bishop of Ely, William Penn, and James Grahme." ".William Penn, Esquire.have designed & endeavoured to depose their Majesties & subvers the government of this Kingdom by procuring an invasion of the same by the French, & other treasonable practices.for which cause several warrants for High Treason have been issued out against them, but they have withdrawn themselves from their usual places of abode and are fled from justice."

Penn the younger then wrote a charter for the colony new colony that included free elections, jury trials, and freedom of religion. Technically, Penn's power was limited by the Crown, but as a propriety colony, Penn was given considerable latitude to govern as he saw fit. He created a system of government that would include complete freedom of religion for any believers (unique for the era), representative government, and separation of powers. Hoping to convert his lands into wealth for himself and his family, he aggressively marketed the colony and quickly attracted a diverse group of settlers. Unfortunately, his colony was not a financial success, and he died in debt.…
