2.1 – Our Political Beginnings 2.2 – The Coming of Independence

English Colonists brought ordered, limited, and representative government Ordered: Justice of the Peace, Sheriff, Counties, etc. Limited: Restricted power and individual rights Representative: Government serves the will of the people

Influential Documents Magna Carta (1215): granted Englishmen certain rights (trial by jury, protection of property, etc.) Power of the monarchy was not absolute The Petition of Right (1628): limited kings power The Bill of Rights (English – 1689): written to prevent abuses by the King/Queen (right to a fair trial, no excessive bail, no cruel and unusual punishment)

1643: New England Confederation – a “league of friendship” for defense against the Native Americans (dissolved in 1684) 1754: The Albany Plan – Benjamin Franklin proposed the formation of an annual congress of delegates form each colony (not approved by the king) 1765: Stamp Act 1765: Stamp Act Congress – “No taxation without representation”

1770: Boston Massacre 1772: Committees of Correspondence (organized resistance) 1773: Boston Tea Party 1774: Intolerable Acts 1774: 1st Continental Congress – sent a Declaration of Rights protesting colonial policies (denied)

1775: (April) American Revolution starts with the Battles of Lexington and Concord 1775: (May) 2nd Continental Congress – some say this was the 1st government 1776: (July 4th) Declaration of Independence – 13 Colonies became independent states
