Democracy would split America and Europe, as Europe consisted mostly of high-class oligarchies while suffrage in America was far more widespread and the government reached further

American society was less tightly controlled and political parties were less stable, with most disagreements being between the elected assembly and royal governor

Provincial: King appointed all provincial governors, who could veto any decision made by the legislative assembly (ex: South Carolina and Georgia)
