The proprietors were given power by the English king to administer and develop the colonies they were in charge of. They could sell land and collect fees from the buyers. They could establish towns and churches and create courts. The colonies' land was in their names.

Both systems reflected the colonial powers' strategies to promote settlement and economic development in their respective territories.
