GB became a democracy LONG before the USA was even born! The Magna Carta was drawn up in the 13thC, removing the then arbitrary powers of the monarch by drawing up a bill of rights for the people, centuries later COPIED by us! It influenced the early New England settlers, inspiring later documents including our constitution. So, it was actually America that wanted to be like England!

BTW, Great Britain is merely an abbreviation of the earlier name "Greater Britannia."

if great britain was so great why did it become a democracy instead of keeping its king and queen in charge simple it wanted to be like america

@gil435345345345 -try looking at a little larger picture and investigate who sponsored the rebellion,who fought in the rebellion and who gained from it-

[gil435345345345]

@toonmag50 no it was the fact that we had to pay taxes to the government yet had no say in the running of that government. if we were allowed seats in parliament, we wouldn't have rebelled, period. Parliament denied us any representation while making us pay taxes, thus denying us our natural born rights as Englishmen, so we took those rights by force. The rest is history. God Bless America and God Bless England. Peace

English and or British dont rebel over nonsence issues-it was a simple issue of manipulation of the free masons and financial backing of the French ,both giving false promises.

[gil435345345345]

@toonmag50 conspiracy theories notwithstanding, the fact is yes GB was run via a parliamentary democracy, a parliament we had no hand in electing and it wasn't about the taxes being high, it was about us having no control over who was taxing us. It was about the sovereignty of all Englishmen, a soveriegnty King George III sought to deny all Englishmen living outside of England, and thus the Englishmen inhabiting the eastern seaboard of North America rebelled

@gil435345345345 -GB was run via a Parliamentary democracy-even during your war of independence.The Crown with George 3 were active, but it was Parliament who had the final say. You can dress this rebellion up in many ways, but it boils down to a free mason and French sponsored colonial war based on one elite replacing another
