Lives of the Majority Change Slowly

masses to revolt. This process would come much later in central and eastern Europe.

Britain Becomes a Global Power

At the time of the American Revolution, Britain was a world superpower. It had begun to build its

empire and already controlled trade with much of North America, the West Indies, and India.

George III came to power in 1760 and was determined to reassert royal prerogatives.

The English Colonies in the Mid-1700s

In Britain’s American colonies, economic life was booming by 1750. Although Britain tried to

regulate trade and other aspects of life in the colonies, there was a sense of semi-independence

on the part of the colonists, who tried to control their own affairs.

Colonists Express Discontent

When King George III imposed taxes on the colonies to help pay for their own defense, the

colonists rebelled. Tensions escalated and finally broke out into war. Inspired by Enlightenment

ideas about the natural rights of man and the right to revolt against an unjust government, the

Second Continental Congress declared independence from Britain.

The American Revolution Continues

With their passion, with their knowledge of the countryside, and with help from France, the

recognized the independent United States of America.

A New Constitution

When the Articles of Confederation proved too weak to establish effective government, some of the

nation’s leaders drafted the Constitution based on Enlightenment ideas of Locke, Montesquieu,

and Rousseau. The new government would recognize some basic rights of the people and

establish three branches of government to create checks and balances. This document served as

a model for constitutions created by other countries.
