I am struggling to answer the following question.

Question

Q: How did the types of settlements influence the way each was governed?

This is all I have written so far. ):

A: The various types of settlements greatly influenced the way each was governed. For example, if a settlement was a proprietary colony, it was owned by an individual who governed it any way he wanted, appointing government officials, coining money, imposing taxes, and even raising an army.

Answer 1

Are you writing about the way in which the British colonies were begun in the "new world"?

Proprietary colonies made up only one type out of many. Without committing any plagiarism, be sure to read all this very carefully. Then write your assignment.
