mainly colonists and british. the british was in deep debt, and so taxed the colonists up the yin yang. lack of communtication played a big role, the colonists didnt know why they there being taxed so grieviously. America became independpant from england.
describe the purpose of the declaration of independence and what it contains
to declare our independence. all men are created equal. people have a right to overthrow tyranny. a lot of it is about the wrongs of King George the third.
describe the articles of confederation and why it failed.
our first real gov't after the revolutionary war. one representative from every state, congress, no president. the articles gave power mostly to the states, the federal power was very weak and had no money because they couldnt tax. the reason for that was because they didnt want it to be like england, what they fought to get rid of. not united at all. each had own currency. like each state was its own country and didnt agree.
describe what the constitution and what it does.
created in pensylvania. its been amended 27 times. makes up the three branches. executive, president. judicial, supreme court. legislature, congress. bill of rights, protects the peoples rights.
