What was in common, and how did the development of England differ from France?

The development of England and France was due to the territorial position. Both states were in the zone of developed relations. They could manufacture products and sell them not only in domestic but also in foreign markets. These factors have had a positive impact on development. But according to the form of government, the states were different. In England, the parliament was actively involved in governing the state, while in France the States General almost did not participate in the leadership of the country, since they were not convened.
