"explain how and why colonies of the world’s most powerful empire developed unique, independent system of governing."

Separated by the Atlantic ocean, the colonies were on the opposite side of the ocean from Great Britain, this geographical fact meant that the mother country lacked the ability to enforce policy in the colonies subjects and leaders. Due to this issue, gradually the colonies were extended more rights and developed a unique form of government in opposition to that of the British Empire, particularly that of monarchical rule, top-down leadership and they established their democracy through conflict and devolution.
