Experience Mayhew in 1718 and 1714 The Articles of Union between the four independent Colonies of Plymouth, Massachusets, Connecticut, and New Haven were dated in 1646, and their representatives then drew up the first body of laws for the well-being of their Commonwealth (as they called it), which union, under the title of the United Colonies, subsisted till 1686, when all the Charters were in effect vacated by a Com mission from James II. For many years the Commis sioners met annually in September, and occasionally at other times; latterly the meetings were only triennial.
