	Raper-Chapter 2
		The governor was appointed by the crown, with an indefinite tenure of office, and was, therefore, responsible to the crown for all of his acts, and not to the people whose affairs he was to administer.
		It was also the duty of the governor to establish the court of exchequer and the court of claims, for the trial of cases arising from lands or their revenue.
		The governor was instructed to call a general assembly whenever occasion demanded it, and he and the council were to be the judges of the necessity.

	Benjamin Franklin - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		In 1753 he and William Hunter were put in charge of the post service of the colonies, which he brought in the next ten years to a high state of efficiency and made a financial success; this position he held until 1774.
		He stood unappalled, gave pleasure to his friends and did honour to his country." 1 Franklin compared the position of the colonies to that of Scotland in the days before the union, and in the same year (1766) audaciously urged a similar union with the colonies before it was too late.
		Hillsborough, who became secretary of state for the colonies in 1768, refused to recognize Franklin as agent of Massachusetts, because the governor of Massachusetts had not approved the appointment, which was by resolution of the assembly.

	Colonial Governors
		OF the colonial governors sent from Britain to the American colonies before the Revolution, and of the provincial governors from that time to 1789, upwards of forty were of Scottish birth or descent.
		Although he held the appointment of Governor of Virginia, he does not, however, appear ever to have been in the colony, as during his brief term of office he was detained in Boston in negotiations with the New England authorities in raising an army for the ensuing campaign.
		In 1781, when the colony was in its most desperate and trying position he accepted the position of governor, and took part in the siege of Yorktown as commander of the Virginia militia.

	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.

		In fact the governors had tremendous practical limitations on their powers, and they were in many areas able to rule only with diplomacy, bargaining and prudent military forays.
		The governor was able to exert direct control over certain limited areas, mainly along the coasts, and beyond these areas the intendants ruled only with charters with cities and towns.
		The colonial regimes had garrisons in most of the cities in the interior, but their grip was conditional and sometimes quite ineffective.

	Towns-Lee
		Though encouraged by sympathetic governors, these men of God were often faced with physical and economic hardships, and, worst of all, the religious apathy of a large segment of the people among whom they worked.
		The building was described by Governor Dobbs as the largest church in the province, and undoubtedly it was one of the fine churches of colonial America.
		By far the most distinguished residents were governors Dobbs and Tryon, though strictly speaking their residence, Russellboro, was not within the limits of the town but adjoined it to the north.

	1724 Court House, Chester, PA
		Governor Johan Printz, sent over from Sweden in 1643, set up his court on the first floor of his big log house, the Printzhof, on Tinicum Island on the Delaware.
		Almost all of the traffic was by horseback, for until 1724 there were only eight individuals in Pennsylvania who owned carriages, the one in Chester County being David Lloyd.

		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.
		In 1724 the colonists struck a fatal blow in an attack on Norridgewock.

	Sven Gunnarsson and his Swanson Family
		In August 1639, the Swedish government, needing settlers for its New Sweden colony, sent word to the governors of Elfsborg, Dalsland and Värmland to capture deserted soldiers and others who had committed some slight misdemeanor and to send them to America.
		Like other freemen, Sven was required to work without pay at Printz's Printzhof plantation whenever the Governor demanded, was prohibited from trading with the Indians and forced to buy all necessities at the company store.
		It was not surprising, therefore, that Sven Gunnarsson was one of the 22 freemen signing a petition of grievances which they submitted to Governor Printz in the summer of 1653.

		He was the intimate friend of Ferdinand Gorges; and when the Laconia colony made its adventure to the region of what is now Portsmouth, in 1623, we find the fisheries and water power of Quampeagan at once made use of and appreciated.
		Their object was "to found a plantation on Piscataqua River, to cultivate the vine, discover mines, carry on the fisheries, and trade with the natives." Gorges and Mason had great expectations of gaining wealth from certain legendary mines, as well as taking high rank from their possessions of manors and immense landed estates.
		A descendant of the family was one of the recent governors of Maine.

		Secondly, since Filmer believes that no man is born free, men cannot [or should not be able to] choose their governors, thus government by consent is to be rejected on the epistemological grounds that the masses do not possess the intellectual wherewithal to elect their leaders.
		He is “a governor in habit rather than in act,” Filmer contends, to which Locke humorously replies: “A very pretty way of being a Governor without Government, a Father without Children, and a King without Subjects.
		Locke presents his rejection of slavery: man’s liberty in society is to be under no other legislative power but that established by consent and under no other will or power but what the legislative enacts according to the trust put in it.
