The Magna Carta was signed in 1215.
From 1215 to 1776 the British colonialists in North America had 561 years of education-by-experience in what is needed for self government by elected representatives. It is quite possible, from a cultural perspective, that experince and a history of experience in democratic forms is every bit as much important as merely “learning” about it and trying to emulate it.
The former European colonies in Africa have not even had one century since their independence. Maybe they will need their own experiences for another 400+ years to “get it right”. Then again, maybe they will simply fail at it.
