I made a few changes to the article to improve its flow and accuracy.In order to do that , I rephrased some of the sentences so they could be read out more smoothly.For example, i changed ‘to make sure’ to ‘to ensure’ and changed ‘stopped separate counties from making their own laws’ to ‘preventing individual counties from creating their own laws.’ I also made the tone more consistent like the part with Etherington’s last words .Lastly, I fixed a few grammar issues by adding commas and changing some of the tenses so the article is consitent .
