One of the cornerstones of halachic practice and Jewish law is
"mesorah" the tradition passed on from one generation to the next.
Naturally Ashkenazim throughout the generations followed the psak of
the Rama which is based on the traditions of the lands they came from.
The same is true for Sefardim.  >>

This is true for Orach Chaim and much of Yoreh Deah  and much of
Even Haezer. It does not seem to be true for Choshen Mishpat and parts of
YD and EH
