Letter on colonial governance and union of representation
A substantial letter to Governor Pownall discusses colonial constitutional reform, favoring a union and representative council. It weighs popular elections, council appointments, landed estate qualifications, and possible minor orders or privy councils, arguing for a balanced system under the Crown with potential reform of the legislative structure. The author cites Parliament, English precedents, and contemporary political pamphlets to advocate gradual constitutional change.
