Greene, Jack P.

Abstract:

Within the American colonial political structure, the elected lower houses of the assembly saw a rise in political power in the years before independence. Their ability to nominate and appoint public treasurers to collect, hold, and apply moneys from provincial revenues, and then control these officials, gave the lower houses a level of financial authority that encroached on executive power.
