Excerpt from Maryland as a Proprietary Province
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. An industrial development, a growth of social pressure.
