Bancroft remarks: ''Popular assemblies burst everywhere into life with a consciousness of their importance and an immediate capacity for efficient legislation.'* 1 Before 1700 practically all the colonies had free legislative assemblies.* It was early urged that " there was more likelihood that such as were ac- quainted with the clime and the accidents thereof might on better grounds prescribe their advantages " than ^* such as sit at home" in England.* Business considerations had their weight
...in the formation of the scheme of government, for settlers were invited into the dif- ferent colonies by a promise of legislative freedom and a share in making the laws. We have only to remember how corpora- tions now flock into a State whose laws are favorable to recog- nize what a great inducement it might have been to immigrants in those early days to locate where the laws and taxes were made and administered by the people themselves. At the Revolution this self-government was regarded as an invaluable right pur- chased by toil, treasure and blood.* The resistance of the minister, elder and people of Watertown to unjust taxation in 1632, to which reference has been made, presaged the defeat of the aristocratic Winthrop at the next election for Governor of Massachusetts.
