There was a prevalent feeling among American colonists that they were being unfairly exploited by the colonial power, Great Britain. Since the British Empire was based on monarchy, it was felt that democracy would be a plausible alternative, although at the time it democracy was also believed to be highly experimental in nature, not having a proven track record.

Why did representative government take root in the colonies in America?

Representative government took root in the American colonies due to a combination of factors, including the distance from Britain, which made direct control difficult, and the colonies' need for local governance to address their specific needs. The influence of Enlightenment ideas about democracy and individual rights also inspired colonists to seek greater political participation. Additionally, early experiments in self-governance, such as the Mayflower Compact and various colonial assemblies, laid the groundwork for a political culture that valued representation and civic involvement. These elements combined to foster a sense of autonomy and the desire for a government that reflected the will of the people.
