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.
Explanation:
Direct democracy occurs when policy questions go directly to the voters for a decision. These decisions include funding, budgets, candidate removal, candidate approval, policy changes, and constitutional amendments. Not all states allow direct democracy, nor does the United States government.
<span>The Royal Proclamation of 1763 was issued October 7, 1763 by King George III following Great Britain's acquisition of French territory in North America after the end of the French and Indian War/Seven Years' War. The purpose of the proclamation was to organize Britain's vast new North American empire, and to stabilize relations with North American Indians through regulation of trade, settlement, and land purchases on the western frontier. The Proclamation in essence forbade Americans from settling or buying land west of the Appalachians. Colonists were angry because many already had land in that area. Additionally, the Proclamation gave the Crown a monopoly in land bought from Native Americans.</span>
