ANew York and Maryland
BNew York and Georgia
CGeorgia and Carolina
DMaryland and New Jersey
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. New York and Georgia
1. When the King made later grants he usually provided that freemen should have a voice in legislation.
2. Charters to Calvert of Maryland, Penn of Pennsylvania and the Carolina and New Jersey proprietors all said so.
3. In only two cases was that self-government provision omitted.
4. One was New York, granted to the Duke of York, who later became King James II.
5. The other was Georgia, granted to a group of trustees.
6. In both instances the arrangement was short-lived, because the colonists demanded representation insistently.
7. Maryland and New Jersey carried the provision expressly, so neither belongs in the pair.
