Answer:

Representative government

Step-by-step explanation:

Representative government is the idea that people should have a say in government matters, either directly, by voting for their representatives, or indirectly, by having unlected officials that represent their interests.

England had a tradition of limited forms of representative government since the Middle Ages, and these ideas were brought to the colonies in North America.
