Quick Write: What is worth going to war over? Why? (4-5 sentences)

The American Revolution Chapter 6 Section 4 Enlightenment ideas help spur the American colonies to shed British rule and create a new nation. How did the Enlightenment ideas influence the American Revolution?

Britain and Its American Colonies The American Colonies Grow American colonies grow large and populous during 1600s, 1700s (economically & population) 1600s = pop. approx. 250, = pop. approx million Economically colonies thrive through trade with Europe -Britain’s Navigation Act restricts that trade (1651) Colonists could not trade w/ other nations except Britain -other trade laws add restrictions, taxes Colonists had a lot of self government Colonists identify less and less as British subjects

Americans Win Independence British–Colonial Tensions Arise Britain & American colonies win French and Indian War in 1763 Britain taxes colonists to help pay war debts Colonists argue that British cannot tax them without their consent Growing Hostility Leads to War Colonists protest tea tax with “Boston Tea Party” in 1773 Colonists meet in Philadelphia to address British policies (1774) British and Americans exchange fire at Lexington and Concord in 1775

Americans Win Independence (con’t) The Influence of the Enlightenment Colonial leaders push for independence, rely on Enlightenment ideas Declaration of Independence— document justifying colonial rebellion Leader Thomas Jefferson writes Declaration, uses ideas of Locke 1775 – 1781: colonists fought a war w/ Britain (American Revolutionary War) Success for the Colonists Despite British military might, colonists have advantages: -motivating cause of freedom -French assistance -war’s expense for Britain British surrender at Yorktown in 1781; colonists win the war

Americans Create a Republic A Weak National Government Articles of Confederation set government plan for new republic Articles create legislature only, no executive or judicial branches Result is weak national government fails to provide unity and order A New Constitution Leaders call Constitutional Convention in 1787 to revise articles Group instead creates a new government under U.S. Constitution

U.S. Constitution Constitution contains many political ideas of the Enlightenment Montesquieu ideas of 3 branches of government with checks and balances - Federal system (separation of powers between the central and state governments) Locke – power in the hands of the people Voltarie – freedom of speech and religion Beccaria - fair system of justice All added to the Bill of Rights (Amendments 1 – 10)
