Declaration of Independence

Influence of British Traditions Magna Carta and Parliament The Magna Carta limited the power of the English monarchs, and stated that kings could not tax the people without consulting Parliament. The American colonists interpreted this to mean that taxation without representation was unjust. Since colonists were heavily taxed but did not have a voice in Britain’s Parliament, the slogan of “No taxation without representation” arose among the colonists.

Influence of British Traditions 2. English Bill of Rights The English Bill of Rights inspired the colonists to fight for the creation of their own Bill of Rights.

Influence of the Enlightenment Thomas Paine’s Common Sense Thomas Paine wrote in his pamphlet Common Sense that colonists should no longer be the subjects of a distant monarch. Pain appealed to reason and natural law in his arguments for breaking away from Britain, and his ideas were very popular in the colonies in 1776.

Influence of the Enlightenment 2. The Declaration of Independence Inspired by John Locke and other Enlightenment thinkers, Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence. Key points taken from the Enlightenment: Government rules by the consent of the governed. Government should protect citizens’ rights. People have a right to overthrow a bad government.

Influence of the Enlightenment 3. The Constitution The Constitution set up a government by social contract and begins with the words “We the people of the United States…” This idea was taken from Hobbes and Rousseau.

Influence of the Enlightenment 3. The Constitution The Constitution also created a republic in which power was divided into three branches, to ensure checks and balances. This idea was taken from Montesquieu.

Impact of the American Revolution The American republic stood as a symbol of freedom to both Europe and Latin America. The US Constitution created the most liberal government of its time, and would be copied my other countries. The success of the American Revolution would inspire other nations to throw off their absolute monarchs.
