The king, or his officials, appointed North Carolina's governor and had the right to approve (or disapprove) its laws. The Lords Proprietors ran the colony because it was so far away from England. Some of the proprietors were not very good at governing and taxes were not being collected and there were problems with pirates and Native Americans. In 1729, seven of the eight Lords Proprietors agreed to sell their shares of North Carolina to King George II, and North Carolina, too, became a royal colony.
In 1682 Dominance of the Lords Proprietors in the Grand Council ends.

The Province of North Carolina was originally part of the Province of Carolina, which was chartered by eight Lords Proprietors. The province later became the U.S. state of North Carolina. First settlement of the North Carolina Colony was in 1653, Charles II of England granted the Carolina charter in 1663 for lands south of Virginia Colony and north of Spanish Florida. Because of the northern half of the colony differed significantly from the southern half, and because transportation and communication between the two settled regions was difficult, starting in 1691 a separate deputy governor was named to administer the northern half of the colony. The division of the colony into North and South was complete by 1712, although the same proprietors continued to control both colonies. A rebellion against the proprietors in South Carolina in 1719 led to the appointment of a royal governor in that colony in 1720, but the proprietors continued to appoint the governor of North Carolina. In 1729, after nearly a decade long attempt by the British government to locate and buy-out seven of the eight Lords Proprietors, both Carolinas became royal colonies. The remaining one-eighth share of the Province (part of North Carolina known as the Granville District).
