  • The invention of the steam engine in 1769 by James Watt revolutionized transportation.
  • Technology thus helped with the Industrial Revolution.
  • While the whole of Europe was facing political instability, the English capitalists were getting the support from British Government. This thus saw an ascendancy of capitalist practices.
  • Serfdom ended and the Enclosure Movement paved the way for an emerging middle class in search of job opportunities. Thus, the social and political structure helped too.

Political legitimacy here means a mass demand from below for the decentralization process, which is able to create a political force for it to take place.
