determine whether each statement explains the trustee period, the royal colony period, or both.
georgia was ruled by trustees
georgia was under the direct rule of king george ii
slaves, property, and alcohol were all legal
slavery was not allowed, land could not be bought or sold and alcohol was illegal
the rulers had a lot of power
there were laws that had to be followed
georgias economy struggled
georgias economy thrived
settlers had limited say in making the rules and laws

Explanation:

• Georgia was ruled by trustees: This is specific to the Trustee Period as the name itself implies governance by trustees.
• Georgia was under the direct rule of King George II: This is characteristic of the Royal Colony Period when the king had direct control.
• Slaves, property, and alcohol were all legal: This was true for the Royal Colony Period. In the Trustee Period, slavery was prohibited, land couldn't be bought/sold freely (in a sense that there were restrictions compared to later), and alcohol was restricted.
• Slavery was not allowed, land could not be bought or sold and alcohol was illegal: This was the case in the Trustee Period.
• The rulers had a lot of power: In the Trustee Period, the trustees had significant power. In the Royal Colony Period, the king - appointed officials (like governors) also had a great deal of power. So this applies to both.
• There were laws that had to be followed: Both periods had a set of laws. In the Trustee Period, the trustees made laws (e.g., regarding land, slavery, alcohol). In the Royal Colony Period, the king - appointed government made laws. So this applies to both.
• Georgia’s economy struggled: The Trustee Period had economic challenges. For example, restrictions on certain economic activities (like no large - scale slavery which was an economic driver in other colonies at a later stage) made it hard. The Royal Colony Period initially might have had some struggles but then thrived. But the statement “Georgia’s economy struggled” is more associated with the Trustee Period.
• Georgia’s economy thrived: This is more in line with the Royal Colony Period when more economic freedoms (like legalized slavery which was used in agriculture) allowed the economy to grow.
• Settlers had limited say in making the rules and laws: In the Trustee Period, the trustees made decisions without much settler input. In the Royal Colony Period, while there were some representative elements later, initially, the king - appointed officials had a lot of control and settlers had limited say compared to more democratic colonies. But it is more strongly associated with the Trustee Period.
