The sturdy and independent spirit of the New England colonies having taught the crown lawyers a lesson of caution in drawing up colonial charters, it was stipulated in this case that the king might negative any enactment of the assembly, that parlia- ment might levy taxes, and that an appeal might be made to the crown from the decisions of the courts of justice. Acting under this charter, Penn drew up a very liberal ^ Frame of Goverament,** and also published a body of l^wa, that had been examined and approved by a company of proposed emigrants in England.
