Our Government System
In the middle colonies we have legislatures that make laws to protect the rights of our citizens. There are two types of legislative houses. The first one is the upper house, they are the advisors. The second one is the lower house, which is the elected assembly. The Governors who choose to ignore the assemblies will risk the chance of losing their salary.
