NEW ANSWER:

The type of government a colony had was based on what type of colony it was.

Corporate Colony - The governor and two-house legislature was elected by qualified voters.

Royal Colony - The king appointed a governor and a council of assistants. The governor had veto power. The governor and council acted as the upper house, and the lower house for the legislature was elected by the people.

Proprietary Colony - Were individuals or groups the king would grant land to. These people had as much governing power as the king. The proprietor usually appointed a governor and a council of assistants. The governor and the council were the upper house. The lower house was elected by the voters.
