Map of British Empire

“The Sun Never Set on the British Empire” This phrase meant that the sun was always shining on the some part of the British empire around the world.

Original Thirteen Colonies

Colonial Discontent England fought French-Indian war England felt colonists should pay for colonial defense Parliament passed revenue laws (Stamp Act, Sugar Act) to raise money Colonists balked because of “taxation without representation”

American Revolution War began when British soldiers exchanged gunfire with American minutemen at Lexington and Concord Continental army led by George Washington Declaration of Independence-written by Thomas Jefferson People have right to overthrow a government that fails to protect the natural rights of citizens (life, liberty, and property-ideas of John Locke) People have right to abolish unjust governments

End of War British had huge resources (soldiers, ships, and supplies) Colonists knew the terrain better France, enemy of Britain, offered military support

End of War (continued) Washington held troops together during despite low supplies, lack of food, and ammunition Continental Army with aid of France crushed the British at Yorktown, Virginia Treaty of Paris ended the war and recognized the independence of the USA

New Government Articles of Confederation proved weak and ineffective Revolutionary leaders (Washington, Madison, Franklin,etc.) met to plan a new government with an improved constitution Framers of Constitution studied ideas of Enlightenment philosophers New Constitution divided powers between federal and state governments = federal republic Central feature of Separation of Powers is three branches of government – executive, legislative, and judicial (Montesquieu)

New Government Bill of Rights included in Constitution = people have basic rights that the government must protect Freedom of speech, religion, and the press The philosophe’s Enlightenment ideas were finally put into practice Constitution has been in place for more than 200 years and adopted by other democratic countries worldwide American Revolution inspired French to revolt against their monarchy in 1789
