Their Magistrates and Officials

Executive Government in Colonial Maryland, 1715-1775

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Their Magistrates and Officials combines narrative, institutional study and biographical approaches to revise our understanding the mechanisms of colonial, imperial, and proprietary government in 18th century Maryland, focusing on the executive branch. The fundamental conflict between Enlightenment ideas and the absolutist Charter of Maryland complicated the political scene, which was already a web of conflicting personal ambitions and personalities and a set of recurrent economic and political problems.
