DESCRIPTION:"The Last Days of Massachusetts Bay Company\, Revisited"\n\nWho
  cares about the loss of the Massachusetts Bay Company Charter\, much less
  the quaint common-law legal writ known as quo warranto? This paper argues
  that we historians should. The protracted legal struggle that led to the 
 creation of the much-detested Dominion of New England articulated importan
 t questions about the nature and basis of political power. The struggle be
 tween the Crown and the Massachusetts Bay Company started out almost exclu
 sively to be about which English men had a right to claim ownership of the
  Native lands of New England. It ended up almost exclusively to be about w
 hich English men had the right to govern the settler-colonists of the regi
 on. That conceptual mutation was of no small importance for understanding 
 the evolution of the English Empire during the Restoration Era.\n\nDaniel 
 K. Richter is Roy F. and Jeannette P. Nichols Professor of American Histor
 y and the Richard S. Dunn Director of the McNeil Center for Early American
  Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. He is currently holds a John S
 imon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship and is the Robert C. Ritchi
 e Distinguished Fellow in Early American History at the Huntington Library

 udies Institute has provided parking reservations for this event in the Mc
