inspired many American political thinkers to emphasize individual talent over hereditary privilege.
2. The movement for independence from Great Britain was fueled by established colonial elites, as well

on arguments over the rights of British subjects, the rights of the individual, and the ideas of the
Enlightenment.

of the people found its clearest American expression in Thomas Paines Common Sense and in the
Declaration of Independence.

both centralized power and excessive popular influence, placed power in the hands of the legislative
branch and maintained property qualifications for voting and citizenship.

calls for significant revisions to the Articles of Confederation and a stronger central government.
Delegates from every state except Rhode Island worked through a series of compromises to create a
Constitution for a new national government that would replace the government operating under the
Articles of Confederation.
6. The American Revolution and the ideals set forth in the Declaration of Independence had
reverberations in France, Haiti and Latin American, inspiring future rebellions.

parties and permanent foreign alliances, European conflict and tensions with Britain and France fueled
increasingly bitter partisan debates throughout the 1790s.

such issues as the relationship between the national government and the states, economic policy, and
the conduct of foreign affairs led to the creation of political parties.

positions on economic, political, social, and foreign policy issues promoted the development of political
