To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
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.
If the patent of 1643 be compared with the charter of 1663, as regards the powers committed to the General Assem- bly, it will be seen that while the remarkable restriction by which the originating of legislation was originally devolved upon the towns had disappeared; and the General Assembly, as constituted in 1663, was invested with full power and authority " to make, ordeyne, constitute, or repeal, such laws, statutes, orders and ordinances, " ] as it shall decree ; yet so apprehensive w r ere the towns of any tendency to drift away from "the people/ 7 that the election of delegates to this body was to recur so often as once in six months.
