I just studied this in American History class today so you are in luck. Government of the colonies: Each colony had a Govenor. Each had a Council which was the upper house and was made up of white male land owners. They were appointed by the govenor. Which makes you think if they were only his friends and no one else. Each had an assembly which was the lower house/legislative body. They were the only elected body in the early colonies. They controlled the money and the taxes. I hope that this helps:)

∙ 16y agoThe original colonists (those who landed on Plymouth Rock) started out with a Commonwealth (socalist) form of government, where the state owned all the land and buildings and everyone was to work for the "common" good. Some of the colonists starved to death that first winter, so, when the colonists couldn't see any personal advantage in this "from each according to his ability; to each according to his need" type of government, the Governor of the settlement then apportioned land to each of the settlers, with the settlers being able to keep for themselves anything they grew over and above what was their contribution to the "common weal". This was, of course, Capitalism, and worked so much better than Socialism that the settlement was able to pay off all debts to their sponsors in Europe much faster that the "common weal" could have done.
