[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from Constitutional Conflict in Provincial Massachusetts: A Study of Some Phases of the Opposition Between the Massachusetts Governor and General Court in the Early Eighteenth Century In the constitutional history of Massachusetts there are presented to view three well marked periods of development, separated by revolutions. They may be called the colonial, the provincial and the commonwealth periods, and correspond roughly with the seventeenth, the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries, respectively. But in its more obvious features, at least, this is not a history of steady progress toward constitutional liberty rather there are two periods of such development, separated by a third of conscious reaction. In the first or colonial period we see what claimed to be, and in many respects was, a commonwealth, self-sufficient, dependent on England for sovereignty, but itself assuming the exercise of all sovereign powers. Barely nominal regard was shown for the express commands of the king of England, and the relations held with him were those rather of diplomacy than of colonial subjection. The reason for this was to be found first, in the infancy of the colony, a time when generally the ideas of private founders are allowed free course, in the ideal of a free Calvinistic commonwealth, enjoying complete self-determination in a polity which made the state serve the church secondly, after the colony had acquired a character, and strength to stand for that character, in the preoccupation of the home government with civil disturbance in England. With the progress of Charles II's reign, as the purity of the colonial ideal was corrupted and as the home government won leisure to attack its problem of empire, this quasi-independent regime was attacked by foes without and within, a process which reached its climax in what may be called the revolution of 1684-91.
