II.   Sovereign

A Plantation is a term invented in the mid 17th Century to describe the disenfranchised and privatized English Colonies, particular those in the Americas, that had their rights and self governance disbanded by Charles II (1660-1685) after siding with the Crown against Parliament during the English Civil War.

The term Plantation as a 17th Century invented legal term is derived from two (2) Latin words planta meaning “plant, growth, fruits, the sole of the foot” and atio meaning “state of; condition of”. Hence the literal etymological meaning of Plantation is “a state of a planter” or simply “a planters’ estate”. The first reference in statute in the Western-Roman Law is 15 Car. 2. c.7. (1663) and then extensively in 25 Car. 2. c.7. (1670).
