What were the similarities and differences in the way the British and French Empires administered their colonies before 1763?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans:
New France followed the Spanish model of absolute power in governing its far-flung trading outposts. Great Britain's policy of "salutary neglect" allowed the colonies a large degree of self-government, until it's the decision to enforce more on "mercantilism" (market-based economy) and the Navigation Acts. Glorious Revolution in Great Britain inspired new political philosophies that challenged divine right kings with the "natural rights" of freemen.
