Beschreibung:
In 1632 King Charles I grants lands bordering the Chesapeake to Lord Baltimore, who later grants an assembly the power to initiate legislation. A proprietor and governor also hold political power. Self-government is hindered, as with the Virginia colony, yet the ability of colonists to initiate legislation in the assembly gives the people some power.
