		Contests between the two were common, with governors generally exercising greater power in the northern colonies and assemblies wielding more power in the south.
		Governors also had the power to make appointments, and thus to pack the government with their followers.
		Colonists tended to view their elected assemblies as defenders against the king, against Parliament, and against colonial governors, who were attempting to increase their power at the expense of popular liberty.

	Schlesinger, Colonial Appeals to the Privy Council. Pt. I
		To the crown this appellate control afforded a means of preventing important changes in colonial law without the consent of the mother country; and it also served the purpose of correcting judgments given in the colonial courts to the disadvantage of the crown.
		This instruction was probably meant for the island colonies and other possessions of England which were far wealthier than her American continental colonies, for the £300 rule is specified in a number of accessible commissions and instructions from 1690 down to 1730.
		Any attempt to summarize, for the entire colonial period, the development of the law regarding the minimum value necessary for appeal, as set forth in the regulations of the king in council, is unsatisfactory, because, as we have seen, the practice varied.

	Beer, British Colonial Policy, 1754-1765
		The ablest colonial governor of the time, William Shirley of Massachusetts, was, however, strongly in favor of a parliamentary union coupled with parliamentary taxation of the colonies.
		Though all these plans, whether of colonial union or of parliamentary taxation, were intended for a permanent military establishment in the colonies in time of peace, their ultimate object was to effect the security of the colonies in the event of war.
		The governor, Francis Bernard, wrote to Pitt on March 20, 1759, that New Jersey showed her zeal for the cause in voting 1000 men, as her population was only 70,000 to 80,000 and as she was spending yearly on the war £70,000, whereas Pennsylvania which was five times as populous, raised only £100,000.

	1713-1755: The Peace of Utrecht to the Seven Years War
		The Peace of Utrecht in 1713 brought the perpetual struggles on the European continent to a temporary end, and inaugurated a generation of tranquil respite.
		As colonial societies expanded and matured, colonists expected the British home government to uphold, or at least not interfere with, the prosperity and autonomy they enjoyed.
		Of course, royal governors continued to exert their influence through control of patronage and land grants, but political authority gradually reverted to parochial leaders who controlled the assemblies.

	New Jersey Frontier Guard - Publishing - NJ in the Colonial Wars (Parker, 1919): NJFG4A01
		In the colonial period the population of New Jersey was very sparse, and consequently its military strength was inconsiderable.
		The Crown urged the Colonies to make a common fund for these purposes, but with the stupid proviso that colonial Generals and field officers should have no rank with the English, while the Captains and inferior officers should be preceded by regulars of the same rank.
		In June, 1756, the Governor reports that all had been done by the Assembly with great alacrity and unanimity, and £17,000 credits were issued to help the forces of Colonel Peter Schuyler, who was made commissary and whose duty, together with General Shirley, was to pay the officers and soldiers of New Jersey.

		Because of the unexpected change of governors, and also because of disagreements between the Governor's Council and the House of Representatives over which body should conduct the war, an offensive effort was not undertaken until February 1723.
