Excerpt from Maryland as a Proprietary Province

Since the founding of Maryland, science has given man a wonderful mastery over the forces of nature, has so penetrated the crusts enveloping the religious thought of sects and nations, that man has been found to be the maker even of bibles; and while thus causing him to see himself as the centre of the universe, man has demanded the right to govern himself. In no other place upon this American continent is there to be found so good an example of a people who, after a struggle of nearly a century and a half, made the transition from a monarchical government to a "government of the people, for the people, and by the people" as in Maryland; and the attempt has been made in the following pages to enable the reader to enter into the experience of that people engaged in that struggle.

The charter, the constitutional basis of the government, was granted by a monarch who had unusually high notions concerning the divine right of kings. It bestowed on the lord proprietor the powers of an absolute monarch. For many years the province was too sparsely populated to admit of the development of a political life; but the sense of individual freedom was strong from the first, and was encouraged by disturbances from without until a successful revolt was effected. The revolt not only gave the people control of their branch of the legislature, but also extended the jurisdiction of the law-making body.
