Established their own representative institutions of government

Explanation:

The American Colonies had representative Government even before they got independence from Great Britain. This was due to the presence of certain factors that promulgated their need.

Three such factors included; the distance of the colonies from Britain, the need for a Law-making structure and the traditional rights of Englishmen. The Colonies were separated from Britain by the Atlantic Ocean which made British rule and laws harder to enforce.

The British had also been very lenient in the rule of the colonies which meant that the Colonies had to come up with their own laws to be able to function. As Englishmen with the right to representation and liberty therefore, they came up with their own representative Governments.
