Before the American Revolution, the American colonies were ruled by Great Britain. Great Britain’s king and Parliament made and enforced laws for the colonies. After declaring independence, the new American states altered their form of government.
Answer
A
The American colonial government went from an absolute monarchy to a limited monarchy.
B
Great Britain governed by dictatorship until the colonies formed a republic after the war.
C
Great Britain controlled the colonies through a limited monarchy until they became a republic.
D
The American colonies were ruled by a monarchy and then became a parliamentary democracy.
Explanation
Great Britain was a limited monarchy: the king shared governing power with Parliament, rather than ruling without limits. After declaring independence, the former colonies formed states within a republic, where government was based on elected representatives rather than a monarch. So the change was from British rule under a limited monarchy to a republic.
