Best Answer

The king, or his officials, appointed North Carolina's governor and had the right to approve (or disapprove) its laws. The Lords Proprietors ran the colony because it was so far away from England. Some of the proprietors were not very good at governing and taxes were not being collected and there were problems with pirates and Native Americans. In 1729, seven of the eight Lords Proprietors agreed to sell their shares of North Carolina to King George II, and North Carolina, too, became a royal colony.
