Was colonial america a democratic society?

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Depends!

Explanation:

It depends on what part of Colonial America you were talking about. Places like New York and the Southern colonies were typically more aristocratic, where the colony was run by a small elite number of wealthy landowners. Pennsylvania was run by the Quaker oligarchs, who held a firm control over the colonial government.

The two most "democratic" societies in Colonial America were the New England colonies and in the backcountry. Local government in New England was practiced through a "Town Meeting", where residents would get together to discuss and vote on various issues. In the backcountry, where colonial authority tended to be weak, society tended to be more egalitarian, and settlers had to work together in order to stay alive and prosper.
