Answer:
the British preferred to use local institutions to control subject populations.
Step-by-step explanation:
British colonialism was established differently in places that had already established their own institutions, such as African countries. Although these countries already had institutions before the arrival of the English, it was necessary that the British empire dominate these institutions, or to give them up and form new institutions. However, the British empire understood that dominating existing institutions would be something cheaper and more advantageous and that it would establish an efficient dominance, so it was done, that is, unlike other European nations, England decided to use local institutions to control populations subdued.
