representative government in other colonial regions?

The goal of the Regulator Movement was to gain fair representation, a similar
goal of the other colonies.

The Regulator Movement sought to give more power to the king, which other
colonies opposed.

The goal of the Regulator Movement was to gain independence from the mother
country which the other colonies supported.

The Regulator Movement sought a return to control by the Lords Proprietors in

The first declaration of the “regulators” not only coincided in time with the movement against the stamp act, but also expressed its solidarity with the organization Sons of Liberty, which led the anti-British campaign. In the petition of the “Regulators,” the stamp law was called the greatest evil intent. Despite "Regulators" declared their solidarity with the "Sons of Liberty", this movement was practically not associated with anti-British actions in the cities. Although the movement of “Regulators” did not have a coherent program, its participants demanded a “settlement” of public discontent and elimination of abuse of power. It was about streamlining the tax system, more equitable representation in the courts and local authorities.
