	Complete List of NYS Attorneys General (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Between 1684 and 1777, the Colonial Attorneys General were appointed by the King of England, or the Colonial Governors on the Crown's behalf.
		Until 1702 he was appointed by the governor, after which he was commissioned by the Crown.
		By the Constitution the governor was required to do the appointing with the "advice and consent of the council." But in practice it subordinated the governor to the council whenever a majority of the assembly was politically opposed to him, and the annual election of the council greatly increased chances of such opposition.

	List of Governors of Massachusetts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is the executive magistrate of the United States Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

		The governor also serves as Commander-in-Chief of the Commonwealth's armed forces, a position the power of which has declined as the states of the United States have become less individual nations and more subnational units.

	Farrand, The Indian Boundary Line
		The problem was not the simple one of providing an adequate defense for outlying colonial settlements against Indian attacks; to protect the Indians in the possession of their hunting-grounds was of equal moment.
		As colonial settlements expanded and united action in dealing with the Indians became more common, the extension and unification of such lines was an inevitable result.
		And it was a part of the general plan that the colonies should pass laws for the observance of this agreement.
