Which two states kept their colonial charter as their constitution?

Connecticut and Rhode Island p. S if your doing this for a social studies paper which at the top says Chapter 7 Review and your in 7th grade shame on you! I'm in the eighth grade and I'm doing this for my study guide because none of the stuff on the paper is in the book.

And how do you know what paper it is, hmm? Is it because you're doing it too? Shame on YOU then I think its only Rhode Island the Constitution of 1818 remained in operation until 1965.

There was also a Constitution of 1955, but it merely incorporated prior amendments into the main body of the constitution ME TOO, I'm in 8th, and none of this craps in the book.

In this feature the charter reminds us of the charter of Maryland. The proprietor was clothed with the power to establish courts, appoint judges, to train soldiers, to wage wars, and to make laws; but the king retained the veto power, and, unlike all the other colonial charters, the power of taxing the people of the colony was reserved to the English Parliament. This provision remained a dead letter until the approach of the Revolution, when it became very significant.3 A strange omission of this charter was that it did not guarantee the settlers the rights of Englishmen, as did the other charters.

To gain an outlet to the sea Penn purchased of the Duke of York the three counties of Delaware, as we have seen. That Penn was a religious enthusiast and a true philanthropist is well known; that he was a man of the world whose secondary object, private gain, was never lost sight of, is not so well known, but equally true.4 His venture in colony planting was soon published widely over England.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
