The colonial governor led the elected assembly in each of the colonies.
In royal colonies, representatives were typically chosen by the king or the colonial governor, who appointed a council to assist in governance. Additionally, the lower house of the legislature was often elected by the colony's free white male property owners. This created a dual system where the governor and council represented royal authority, while the elected assembly reflected the interests of local citizens.
He was elected governor in 1779. He served in the state legislature and the Contiental Congress
The lower house legislature was elected by those property owners qualified to vote.
The three types of colonies were royal, proprietary, and charter colonies. Royal colonies were directly controlled by the monarchy and governed by appointed officials, often with a governor. Proprietary colonies were granted to individuals or groups who had the authority to govern them, usually with more autonomy. Charter colonies operated under charters agreed upon by the colony and the crown, allowing for self-governance through elected assemblies.
The settlers in the charter colonies elected their own governors and the members of the legislature. Great Britain had the right to approve the governor, but the governor could not veto the acts of the legislature.

In charter colonies, governmental matters were typically handled by a governor and a council, both appointed by the colony's charter. The governor oversaw the administration and enforcement of laws, while the council often served as an advisory body. Additionally, many charter colonies had an elected assembly that allowed colonists to participate in local governance, reflecting a degree of self-rule. This structure facilitated a mix of colonial autonomy and oversight by the crown or chartering authority.
