" By this simple act of affirmation a colony was formed, the first among men "holding forth a lively experiment that a flourishing civill state may stand, yea, and best be maintained, and that among English spirits, with a full liberty in religious concernments. " On the 12th day of March, 1640, the two towns united at Newport, by unanimous agreement, to form the Colony which, later, assumed the name of the Island, Rhode Island, thereby assur- ing the Primacy of Rhode Island on Aquidneck as a D...emocratic state. The legislation, accompanying this great act of new sovereignty was as follows: "It is ordered that the Chiefe Magistrate of the Island shall be called Gov- ernour, and the next Deputie Governour, and the rest of the Magistrates Assistants, and this to stand for a decree. " "It is agreed, that the Governour and two Assistants shall be chosen in one town, and the Deputy Governour and two other Assistants in the other town. " "It is ordered that the plantation at the other end of the Island shall be called Portsmouth.
