Justice in Colonial Virginia (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Justice in Colonial Virginia
When Virginia was settled, English institutions came with the settlers; but these institutions had, in many cases, to undergo changes before they were prepared to enter the new environment into which they were carried by coloniza tion. They had to return to their infancy and in some in stances to pass through stages of growth in the new world similar to those through which they had already gone in the old. This second evolution was more rapid than the first; and America in one century reached a stage in institutional progress which it had taken Europe more than a millennium to attain. Only those parts of the old constitution that were suited to the new conditions survived and became a perma nent part of the colonial system of government. For the first decade of its existence, Virginia's constitution, there fore, presented few points of similarity to its great proto type, and, in fact, it was not until 1619 that the likeness of the colonial government to that of the mother country be came plainly discernible.
