Thomas Jefferson Explains Government

Before the rise of the United States of America, a young Virginian wrote a document explaining to all men, everywhere what the rights of Englishmen in America where. He explained a government that was to be transplanted (in someways) into the American mind forever. He suggest as follows:

Virginia, Georgia, Great Britain, Canada, and all the other British Colonies were ruled by there elected officials. The only common tie between these independent States (a 18th Century term meaning "Nation") was King George. It was his responsibility to make sure that one legislative branch (Parliament lets say) doesn't attempt to take control of another States legislative branch (The Virginia House of Burgesses).

If he did not abided by this rule, he could be replaced.
