Who handled governmental matters in charger colonies?

In charter colonies, governmental matters were typically handled by a governor and a council, both appointed by the colony's charter. The governor oversaw the administration and enforcement of laws, while the council often served as an advisory body. Additionally, many charter colonies had an elected assembly that allowed colonists to participate in local governance, reflecting a degree of self-rule. This structure facilitated a mix of colonial autonomy and oversight by the crown or chartering authority.
