Fortunately for the 13 colonies, their people enjoyed a common origin and heritage
overall and spoke the same language.


Not as much as you might think.

Try to remember - Virginia was founded by Protestants - Maryland was Catholic and
tolerant - Pennsylvania was founded by the Quakers - Massachusetts was founded by the
Pilgrims - New York was founded by the Dutch - Louisiana was founded by the French -
the people who lived in the states didn't want to lose their identity. Each state approaches
state government in a different way.

Proper government of a country as large and as populous as the United States must be
decentralized - otherwise, the big cities will control the rural areas in such a way as
benefits the big cities at the expense of the rural areas. This is unacceptable to the rural
areas, and that's why the Electoral College was adopted, and why it will never be
abandoned.
