In the Russian Empire, power typically passed from ruler to ruler through hereditary succession, often within the same royal family, primarily the Romanovs. However, this succession was occasionally marked by political intrigue, coups, or the influence of powerful nobles and the military. The ruling monarch could also be overthrown or replaced through revolutions, as seen in the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, which ended centuries of imperial rule. Additionally, the Tsar's legitimacy was often reinforced by religious endorsement from the Orthodox Church.
Hereditary succession in the Roman Empire provided stability and continuity in leadership, as rulers could pass their power to trusted heirs, fostering a sense of legitimacy and order. This practice often ensured that experienced individuals governed, reducing the likelihood of power struggles and civil wars that could arise from contested successions. Additionally, it allowed for the consolidation of power within certain families, which could lead to more effective governance and long-term planning for the empire's future. However, it also risked the emergence of unqualified leaders if heirs lacked the necessary skills or virtues.

As the British Empire grew, so did its strain on the economy of the home country. The cost of maintaining the empire escalated dramatically, forcing Parliament to pass laws to help alleviate the economic stress. One method in balancing their budget was to pass new taxes and laws onto its colonies. The colonies eventually grew restless at the influx of new tax payments, which caused tension between the colonists and their home country.

The American Colonies Act 1766 decreed that Parliament had the right to pass whatever laws were needed to govern the empire. It was passed to show that Britain would still assert its authority over the colonies, even though it repealed the unpopular Stamp Act due to the economic pressure of boycotts.
