As was natural, this was to be seen in the promi- nence given to the legislative branch of the colonial govern- ment, at the expense of the executive and judicial. The General Assembly, that body which in its organization came nearest to a connection with the popular will, never aban- doned the position of superiority in which the original patent had placed it; and while it has since then strengthened itself as compared with the power possessed by the towns, it has never suffered either the exe...cutive 'or the judicial departments to gain a position of relative preponderance over it.
