What types of government did the Americans have in the 1600s and the 1700s?

In the 1600s and 1700s, the American colonies were primarily governed as part of the British Empire, with various forms of colonial administration. Most colonies operated under a charter system, where they had some degree of self-governance through elected assemblies, while others were directly controlled by the Crown or proprietors. The political landscape varied significantly, with some colonies practicing more democratic forms of governance and others maintaining strict control from Britain. Overall, the period was marked by a gradual move towards greater self-rule, culminating in the push for independence in the late 1700s.

How did the population and settlements in the colonies change from the early 1600s to the mid 1700s?

From the early 1600s to the mid-1700s, the population in the American colonies grew significantly due to high birth rates, immigration, and the transatlantic slave trade, leading to a more diverse population. Settlements expanded from small, scattered communities primarily along the Atlantic coast to more established towns and cities, with increased agricultural development and land clearing. The growth of trade and commerce fostered urbanization, particularly in port cities like Boston, New York, and Philadelphia. By the mid-1700s, the colonies had developed a more complex social and economic structure, reflecting their rapid growth and diversification.

By the mid 1700s how strong was british rule in the colonies?

By the mid-1700s, the relationship between Britain and the colonies had become, in fact if not in form, federal. This meant that the central governement in London was responsible for colonial defense and for foreign affairs. It also provided a uniform system of money and credit and a common market for colonial trade. Beyond that, the colonies were allowed a fairly wide amount of self-rule. It wasn't until the end of the French and Indian war (1760s) that Britain began to become more involved and heavily tax its colonies to pay for the efforts in the war.
