Why is the existence of elected legislative assemblies in the English colonies considered such a big difference from the absolute power of the French (and Spanish and Dutch) colonies?
The existence of elected legislative assemblies in the English colonies marked a significant departure from the absolute power exercised in French, Spanish, and Dutch colonies, where governance was typically centralized and controlled by monarchs or appointed officials. This democratic element in English colonies allowed for greater local representation and influence over governance, fostering a sense of political participation and autonomy among colonists. In contrast, the lack of such assemblies in other colonial systems often led to resistance and discontent, as they did not afford colonists a voice in their own governance. This difference in political structure contributed to the development of unique colonial identities and laid the groundwork for future demands for independence.
