New Jersey has a strong Governor, who is the only public official elected by the entire state, except for US Senators. The Governor has the power of chief executive, Legislative agenda setter, appointments (even to the judiciary) to cabinet, policy support, investigatory and semi-autonomous bodies which are rampant in New Jersey, partly because of the bi-state arrangements with bridges, tunnels, airports with New York and Pennsylvania. The New Jersey Governor has a difficulty with access to the media, which is dominated by its metropolitan neighbors, Philadelphia and New York City.

The Duke of York did not visit New Jersey often and did not do a good job of keeping it under control. So, since it was a proprietary colony, he gave half of it to Sir George Carteret in exchange for a debt and the other half to Lord Berkley of Stratton (a close friend of the Duke) So then Sir George Carteret and Lord Berkley became the two Lords Proprietors of New Jersey and the history of New Jersey continued on THE END.
New Jersey In the 1660's England had a lot of colonies in America. But King Charles II wanted another one. He gave the New Netherlands to his brother James, the Duke of York. But there was one problem, the Dutch owned the New Netherlands. In May of 1664, he sent warships to the New Netherlands. The Dutch people surrendered without a fight. In 1664 James gave part of New York to two friends, Sir George Carteret and John Berkeley. So James named the new colony New Jersey. They were the proprietors. They charged the settlers who moved onto their land. To get colonists to move to New Jersey the proprietors offered cheap land and freedom of religion. Many settlers came to New Jersey. In 1672 the Dutch reclaimed New Jersey and the English couldn't get it back till 1674. In 1674 John Berkeley sold his part of New Jersey to two Quakers. The Quakers were a religious group that was a part of England, and many Quakers wanted to move to America. New Jersey was divided into East Jersey and West Jersey. The Quakers moved into West Jersey. Then Sir Carteret's widow sold West Jersey to twenty-four English, Irish, and Scottish men. Most of them were Quakers. Neither East nor West Jersey was very successful. In 1702 they joined together and made a royal colony ruled by the king of England.
