A governor who tried to shut down Parliament, an Assembly who refused him, and how Oliver Cromwell’s death changed it all. Dive into the heated conflict between Governor Matthews and Virginia's elected Assembly in 1658. When the governor tried to dissolve the Assembly, citing his authority, the elected members pushed back, claiming their right to self-govern. This episode unpacks the Assembly's firm resistance, their investigative report confirming their authority, and how the death of Oliver Cromwell ruined England plans to rip that authority away from the Assembly. The story sets the stage for understanding the democratic spirit brewing in the American colonies. Tune in for an engaging look at early colonial power dynamics!
