D. Constitutions were set up to establish a rule of law based on democratic principles.

Answer 1

A. Foreigners governed at all levels and no self-rule existed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct form of government rule is a form of colonialism that involves the establishment of a centralized foreign authority within a territory, which is run by colonial officials.

Direct government is when an imperial or central power takes direct control over the legislature, executive and civil administration of an otherwise largely self-governing territory.

Example of direct rule is in Burma. The monarchy firmly opposed colonial rule. As a result, Great Britain abolished the monarchy and administered the country directly through its colonial government in India.
