Description
The nature of public interest, regulatory power, and the sovereign rights of a colony in the 17th and 18th centuries. The extent and nature of intercolonial disputes over sovereignty, land management, and riparian rights, 17th and 18th century concepts of 'public interest', and the right of a colonial government to regulate the private world on behalf of the public interest remain contentious issues. This essay explores how Virginia and Maryland (and to some extent Pennsylvania) dealt with the problem of overlapping jurisdictions, particularly as they pertained to access, use, and governance of bodies of water.
