There were lots of similarities between Britain's system of government and that of the individual British colonies in North America. One difference, though, was that a far larger proportion of male residents experienced direct representation in theirlegislatures, rather than the "virtual representation" that most Britons experienced inEngland and Scotland. Why? 1.Because elections for office in the colonial legislatures were done by secretballot. 2.Because ownership of enough property to meet the property requirements forvoting was more common in the colonies than it was in Britain. 3.Because the colonists thought slavery, in both the political sense and actualslavery, was more wrong than did their British counterparts. 4.Because only enslaved people were prevented from having voting rights in the colonies.

I do not fully agree that companies exist entirely in their own right or are unequivocally the most important organizations in the world.

Companies operate to generate profit and shareholder value, which does not always align with the broader interests of society. Therefore, other organizations are still needed to regulate markets and address challenges that private industry may not…
