His Lordship died April 15, 1632, before the patent was made out; on which his son Cecil took it out in his own name the June following. Charles, in honor to his royal consort Henrietta Maria, named the colony Maryland; and, being desirous of gratifying the proprietary all in his power invested him with as much sovereignty as could well consist with an immediate subjection to the crown of England. His Lordship, with the assent of the freemen, or their delegates, whom he was required to assemble for that purpose, might make laws of what kind soever for the province, so that they were not repugnant, but agreeable to the jurisprudence and rights of the realm of England; and he was authorised to execute the acts of the assembly. There was no clause in the charter obliging him to transmit their acts to the king for approbation or dissent: nor any saving of the royal interference in the government of the colony. Charles reserved to himself and his heirs forever, imposts, duties, and customs, which the colonies were bound to pay; but declared in the same charter, “We, our heirs and successors, shall at no time set and make, or cause to be set, any imposition, custom, or taxation on the inhabitants of the province, for their lands, goods, tenements, or chattels whithin the said province.” By this clause the king covenanted for himself, heirs and successors, that having reserved for ever the imposts, duties, and customs, he would not contribute toward setting upon the inhabitants any imposition, custom, or taxation, for their lands, goods, tenaments, or chattels, within the said province; and therein bound both himself and them, not to assent to any bill subjecting the inhabitants to an internal taxation by an external legislation.
