(royal governor)
to serve as a substitute for the king
In the colonies, the substitute for the king was often the colonial governor, who was appointed by the British Crown. Governors were responsible for enforcing royal policies and overseeing colonial administration, acting as the king's representative. Additionally, colonial assemblies, made up of elected representatives, played a significant role in local governance and decision-making, sometimes counterbalancing the governor's authority. This dual structure contributed to growing tensions that ultimately led to the American Revolution.
It was limited in the colonies because the English King and the Parliament still had power over the colonies. Happy to help from Thong Tran!

No, actually the people voted on it. There was a representative government.
Some colonies didn't chose to have a representative government, others did.
