The colonial governors were free to do what they needed to keep taxes rolling into the royal tax collectors EXCEPT they could not set or order their own salaries, which came from those same tax collectors. The colonial legislatures in each colony had the authority to approve or delay as long as they chose, the paying of a salary to the royal governor. In other words, if the governor made the colonists angry, he might never get paid.It was an early power given to the colonials since the king and crown did not want to pay the governor's salaries out of royal tax revenues. The governor was stuck trying to mollify the colonials and keep tax money rolling in to pay the bills, including his own.

In colonial governments, the individuals typically in charge included appointed governors, who represented the crown or the colonial power, and colonial assemblies composed of local elites or landowners.
