I believe one important reason why England was behind Spain and Portugal in colonization was because the latter two countries are in or closely associated with the Mediterranean and that is where the heart of the foment for world explorations came from especially in Italy during the Renaissance. These world explorations led to the conquests of the New World indigenous people such as in the present day Mexico and Peru and Bolivia as early as the early 1500's. The English colony in the present day US was not established until 1607.
If this is for edgenuity it is a) lack of organizational structure.
A) Magna Carta: limited power of rulers, trial by jury
Explanation:
This document expressed that the king was not above the law. It essentially prevented the king from exploiting his power (thus limited the power of rulers). Furthermore, the Magna Carta was the origin of the jury trial (which the US implemented into their government).

<span>The organization that was created to unionize both unskilled and skilled workers was Congress of Industrial Organization. This federation brought workers together in industrial fields to form unions from the US to Canada from 1935-1955. The American version was the largest federation of the unions ever in the US. It included fifty-six unions which represented over 12 million workers who were both active and retired.</span>
