	BRITISH EMPIRE - LoveToKnow Article on BRITISH EMPIRE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		In colonies possessing representative institutions without responsible government, the crown cannot (generally) legislate by order in council, and laws are made by the governor with the concurrence of the legislative body or bodies, one at least of these bodies in cases where a second chamber exists possessing a preponderance of elected representatives.
		Colonial governors are classed as governors-general; governors; lieut.-governors; administrators; high commissioners; and commissioners, according to the status of the colony and dependency, or group of colonies and dependencies, over which they preside.
		The extent of this burden was emphasized in 1909 by the revelations as to the increase of the German (and the allied Austrian) fleet.

	Delaware Chapter XIII
		Their first, second and third colonies, which arrived out in 1638 and 1640, and the fifth colony also, which came between those of Printz and Risingh, contained a good many Dutch, and were indeed partly recruited and fitted out in the Netherlands, with Dutch capital and under Dutch management.
		This "listing" process was found excellently well suited to the low, flat lands of the peninsula, as, besides saving labor, it afforded a sort of easy drainage, the bottom of every furrow being a small ditch, and this enabled the farmers to plant their corn much earlier than they otherwise could have done.
		Governor Printz was expressly instructed to encourage all sorts of domestic manufactures and the propagation of sheep.

	Quebec
		In 1774, fearful that the French-speaking population of Quebec would side with the rebels of the 13 colonies to the south, the British Parliament passed the Quebec Act that paved the way to official recognition of the French language and French culture.
		The Constitutional Act of 1791 saw the colony divided in two at the Ottawa River to accomadate the new arrivals; the western part became Upper Canada (now Ontario) and changed to the British legal system.

		By the 1606 charter the colony was limited to 100 miles along the seaboard and 100 miles west from the coast.
		In 1609 the London Company obtained a grant of land from sea to sea, and extending 400 miles along the Atlantic; but in 1624 its charter was annulled, and in 1632 the King carved the proprietary colony of Maryland out of Virginia.
		As the colonies were growing in population, and as the charters of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Virginia, and Carolina gave them great stretches of territory in the Mississippi valley, it was inevitable that, sooner or later, a bitter contest for possession of the country should take place between the French and the English in America.

	List of Governors of Virginia Biography,info

		In Virginia, governors and lieutenant governors are elected separately, so the two can be of different political parties and can be political rivals.

		Governor Berkeley, who had been Governor since 1642, had Charles II proclaimed as King and invited him to assume the administration of Virginia.
		According to the Act all English possessions could allow only English or Colonial vessels entrance to their ports; certain articles, produced in the colonies, such as sugar and tobacco, were known as "enumerated" goods, and were to be shipped to England only.

		The surrender at the forks of the Ohio was soon known to the governors of Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.

	Complete List of NYS Attorneys General
		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.

		I found this, which lists all of the Virginia Governors, up through George Allen (I suppose none who have come since rate a mention?), with brief bios for the recent Governors.
		And lest anyone quibble about “elected” governors, I will remind everyone that the Sovereign lacked authority to appoint Virginia’s governor from 1609-1624, and that Virginia had presidents from 1607-1609 (who, it may be of interest to note, served for one-year terms and were ineligible to succeed themselves in office–does that last part sound familiar?).

	Montgomery Chapter IV
		These exiles had made overtures to the Virginia Colony and the Plymouth Company, but in both instances failed to effect arrangements deemed necessary for their permanent welfare as a colony, and therefore applied to the Netherlands through the Amsterdam merchants to settle at some point in the New World under the protection of the States-General.
		The secretary of Minuet and the colony, Isaac De Rasieres, a keen observer and skillful diplomatist, was devoted to the interests of Godyn, Van Rensselaer, and Blommaert, and he probably kept them apprised of all that was going on in the New Netherlands.
		The land selected for each colony might extend sixteen miles in length if confined to one side of a navigable river, or eight miles on each side if both banks were occupied; but they might run as far into the country as the situation of the occupiers should permit.

		Lumley, who assumed the office of governor in 1819, was called back to London in 1822 for investigation of the charges, but was reinstated the following year, having been cleared of wrongdoing.
		The citizens rankled at the oppression of a crown-appointed governor, and, as communicated in the series of letters in the copybook, the population was unified in their opposition to Governor Lumley.
