The primary difference between the English colonies and Spanish and French colonies is that they elected their own representative assemblies. English colonies had a degree of self-governance through elected assemblies, which allowed colonists to have a voice in their local governance. In contrast, Spanish and French colonies were generally more centralized and controlled directly by the crown, with appointed governors and little to no local representation.
