Colonial Self-Government

Abstract

Crown colony government developed in the conquered colonies because British ministers would not establish representative institutions that would work only tumultuously or fall into the hands of oppressive minorities. An elected assembly in Trinidad, for example, would not have functioned peacefully if it had represented all men of property and would have been an unpopular and possibly tyrannical body if it had represented only English or European settlers.

Everyone will admit the broad doctrine that colonies should, as far as possible, be self-governed.

James Stephen1

The composition of society in New South Wales is such as to be constantly replete with the danger of insubordination and tumultuous resistance to the law.
