Colonial government in the United States was characterized by direct control from European powers, with limited representation for colonists and a focus on mercantilism. Laws were often imposed without local consent, and governance was heavily influenced by colonial elites and the interests of the mother country. In contrast, present-day US government is based on democratic principles, with a constitution that guarantees individual rights and a system of checks and balances, allowing for greater citizen participation and representation. Additionally, federalism allows for a division of powers between national and state governments, which was not present in colonial governance.
There were several differences, but the clearest is that French colonial rule was direct from the Paris while British colonial rule preferred to leave amenable local leaders in charge.
