Currency act
The Colonial assemblies set up committees of correspondence to take notes and let others know how certain bodies felt about issues. These written notes would be passed on to others who had an interest in these thoughts to read.
Colonial governors and assemblies had way too much power in upholding the law. The Colonial governor could order a person's house to be searched without anyone else's consent. The Colonial assembly acted much like a vigilante group, targeting certain people that they thought were spreading propaganda. This was all before the Bill of Rights was passed.

The British gov't works like Canada's. Acts and bills originate in the House of Commons, where they are then sent to the Senate. The senate acts as "a sober second thought" and advises changes which may need to be made. If there are no issues, then the bill is forwarded to the Queen who has the final say. She then signs the bill, and it becomes a law.

This charge refers to a grievance that arose because of the British government's fear that the popular assemblies of the colonies were growing too large and powerful as new communities were formed and additional representatives were elected to the assemblies of the colonies. New Hampshire, South Carolina, and New York passed laws allowing for the establishment of new communities with elected representatives to their respective popular assemblies, all of which were disallowed by King George. Virginia was also constrained by the same policy. The colonists insisted that representation in their assemblies was their right, because government must be by consent of the governed. The British maintained that representation was a privilege granted by the King.
