At the beginning of the time period in the early 1620s, the colonists had a lot of say in how they were ruled because Britain wasn't concerned about keeping them under tight rule. When the Navigation Acts were created, the colonists lost a lot of their control because the British government was requiring the enforcement of strict trade rules. These laws were relaxed as the British government became more corrupt under Robert Walpole and officials started taking more bribes. The colonists also regained control after the Boston Revolution when they forced the end of the Dominion of New England. In conclusion, the amount of self-rule the colonies had was dependent on what the British government was doing to control them and what the colonists were doing to resist that control.]]> 2022-09-19 20:03:04 UTC https://padlet.com/8707951/ra0gr01zngit7n1e/wish/2303676440
