A Clash of Views English View Colonists View Trade Conflict Parliament represented all English citizens, including the colonists. Colonists View Since no colonists served in Parliament, nor could colonists vote for Parliament, English government did not attend to colonial needs. Trade Conflict Parliament only allowed the colonists to trade with England.

A Clash of Views “No Taxation Without Representation” Parliament decided to raise money to pay its debts by taxing the colonies. Enraged many colonists. Steps Toward Independence 1774: First Continental Congress 1775: Second Continental Congress 1775: Fighting breaks out in Massachusetts 1776:“Common Sense” is published

Declaration of Independence Support for separation of England increased. Second Continental Congress voted for independence. Committee appointed to write declaration. Writers Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams. “...whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and institute new Government.” Signed on July 4th 1776- As the American Revolution was being fought.

Organizing a New Government Compact A written agreement to make and obey laws for the welfare of the group State Constitutions During and after the Revolution, each state had its own constitution The Articles of Confederation 1777: The original compact between the soon to be independent colonies.

Organizing A New Government Outline Allowed for a national legislature, with each state having one vote. There was no judicial branch. Problems Articles of Confederation needed the ratification or approval of all 13 states. States differed -a strong central government or strong state governments.

A Limping Government Post war Problems with Debt and Trade Congress borrowed large amt of money to pay for war supplies, couldn’t pay debt back. Congress unable to regulate trade with England and other English colonies. Shays Rebellion 1786: Hundreds of angry Massachusetts farmers led by Daniel Shays revolted to show their anger over poor trade conditions. Exposed a weak American government.
