Answer:
With the vast Atlantic ocean separating Britain from the Colonies such that a trip from one side to the other could take between 6 weeks to 2 months, Britain could not impose the control it wanted on the colonies and the colonies could not always rely on the British Government to make decisions for them because responses could take too long to be transmitted as they did not have the modern forms of communication that we do today.
Americans therefore not having the weight of the British Government on them had to come up with a Government that would manage their affairs and respond speedily to their own issues as well. The British for the most part let the colonists do what they wanted so long as they purchased British goods and maintained loyalty to the crown.
<span>George III became king of Great Britain and Ireland in 1760 following George II's death. He worked for an expedited end to the Seven Years' War. Also, during the American Revolution, he was portrayed as an inflexible tyrant who essentially caused the revolution. He was, in name only, the ruler of Great Britain at the time of the War of 1812, although his son, as Prince Regent, was really in control. King George died in 1820. He was the 2nd longest ruler of Great Britain, next to Queen Victoria.</span>
All the internal reforms carried out by Alexander III aimed to reverse the liberal policies that were implemented during his father's reign. The new emperor believed that by remaining faithful to the Orthodox Church, autocracy and nationalism (an ideology that had been introduced by his grandfather, Tsar Nicholas I), he would save Russia from revolutionary unrest. Alexander's political ideal was a nation composed of a single nationality, language, and religion, as well as a single form of administration.
