Explanation:

In British Colonies the king and the British parliament allowed colonists to have local governments and representative assemblies. They could tax themselves as long as they did not take up arms against the Crown. For example, the English Colonies in North America had their own governments, the English Monarch had the ultimate authority over all colonies.

Spanish Colonies were controlled by the Spanish King, he appointed viceroys and governors that were responsible for those colonies. They needed to obey the king’s laws and could not have any assembly.
