Maryland was governed as a proprietary colony under the control of the Calvert family, specifically Lord Baltimore, who received the land grant from King Charles I in 1632. The governance structure allowed Lord Baltimore significant authority, including the power to appoint the governor and establish laws. The colony had a representative assembly, which included elected delegates, enabling some degree of self-governance. This system was designed to promote religious freedom, particularly for Catholics, while also attracting settlers through land grants and incentives.
