    The correct answer is B) New France and the English colonies were established with the understanding that the king or queen would oversee all aspects of society.

    This is why the English colonies had to fight a war for their right to rule themselves. Even if in practice they had a lot of autonomy, and developed certain forms of self-goverment, formally they were still part of Great Britain, and the english king was the ultimate ruler.

    New France had a similar situation. The difference is that the rule of the kings of France ended with the French Revolution, and years after, Napoleon rose to power and became dictator. In order to finance the Napoleonic wars in Europe, Napoleon sold most of New France to the emerging United States.
