Question

Analyze to what extent representative government developed in the thirteen original English Colonies

Answer 1

Explanation:

Charters of royal colonies provided for direct rule by the king. A colonial legislature was elected by property holding males. ... The colonies along the eastern coast of North America were formed under different types of charter, but most developed representative democratic governments to rule their territories.

When the 13 colonies of the New World were established they set up a representative government because they wanted a system of checks and balances. If their representatives did not meet the interests of the people they could be voted out of office.
