Similarities Between Today And Colonial Government
Colonial government and our government today were similar because in colonial times they had Privy Council who were advisors who set policies, allowed colonies to run their own affairs, RL laws should agree with English laws. This is like today's government because we can control our own affairs and all towns have to have the same laws as others. Both governments also have at least two branches and one branch contains two house before it was the council of state and the house of Burgesses, now the two houses are the house of representatives and the senate. This is in the legislative branch, also known as the branch that makes laws. Before it was known as the bicameral branch, it did the same thing but had a different name. Both colonial and
today's government allow town meetings. Town meetings were meeting where people would discuss problems they were having in the town such as paying for schools and ownership of land. Also both today's and before government, laws had to be approved by all governors. All states were to agree with the U.S. constitution. Our judicial branch was before the colonial courts. Their legislative branch was the parliament. Assemblies were like their own lawmaking branch. We both had an executive branch. The executive branch were the Privy Council. the colonial government and our government today were different because we had a third branch the judicial branch that interprets laws. We could also impeach, repeal, and if we wanted we could re-elect or not re-elect a president. In colonial times one house, the house of burgesses was elected by colonist and the the other house, the council of state was elected by advisors and the VA company members. Also in colonials times their was the english bill of rights that reduced the power of the Monarch which we don't need now. And before their were Great Awakenings, periods of times were people would try to get people more into religion and change some of the “rules”. Last thing each colonie had their own governor, they were assigned by advisors and elected by CT people. Governors also had final say but assemblies could infulnes them by refusing to pay their salaries.
