Governor ; increased the Assistants to ten, and vested the legisla- tive power in these and the deputies from the towns, to be called the General Assembly. The power to initiate laws, or to approve them, when proposed by the Court of Commissioners, was previ- ously vested in the towns, and exercised in their several town-meet- ings. The number of Deputies, for each town, was also fixed, which now constitutes one of the odious features of this Charter, to those who have found how difficult it is... to obtain rights which are derived from a higher authority. The next day after the Charter Avas received, the old govern- ment surrendered to the new. The name of the colony was changed by this Charter. Rhode- Island, then containing more than two thirds of the freemen, gave the principal name to the State, and Newport became the capital. In May, 1664, the General Assembly passed the following reso- lution : " At present this General Assembly judgeth it their duty to signifye his Majestys gracious pleasure vouchsafed in those words to us verbatim (viz) that no person within the said colonic at any time hereafter shall be any ways molested, punished, disquieted or called in question, for any differences of opinion in matters of relig- ion, and do not actually disturb the civil peace of the sayd colony.
