The British government during the 1700s was much more tax heavy on its colonies than its homeland. Many people living in British colonies felt this was unfair yet had practically no say in the British government and thousand of people who never felt a relation to Britain where drafted into wars. Most colonials felt this was unfair and slowly started to rebel
In the 1700s the British government was a Constitutional Monarchy where power was split between the Monarch, the House of Lords and the House of Commons.
In the 1700s, the British government was such that:
- the Monarch still held a lot of powers but needed to inform and get permission from Parliament for certain things such as declaring war.
- the House of Commons was one part of Parliament and was dominated by the wealthy middle and upper class. They were more powerful than the House of Lords and were elected to their position.
- the House of Lords was the second part of Parliament and people got their positions from an ancestor who was a Lord. They created laws along with the House of Commons but the latter held more sway.
This style of leadership was reflected in the colonies by the establishment of legislative assemblies such as the House of Burgesses which ruled alongside the Colonial Governor and advised him on several matters as well as made laws.
In conclusion, the British government operated a constitutional monarchy with the monarch at the top while the colonies operated similarly but with more representation and with the immediate authority being the governor.
