In most cases, British colonies in North America were ruled by:
  1. The envoy of the king
  2. A governor and assembly
  3. Lesser sons of noble families
  4. Councils elected by the residents
  5. Members of the British Parliament
Explanation
Answer: B - Colonial rule generally consisted of a governor, who was often appointed in England, and an assembly. Voting rights varied greatly across the colonies, and property requirements limited those who could participate. Because those who governed often came from either England or the highest social class, class tensions often emerged.
