Here is some information that will help:
The Articles of Confederation was the first constitution in US history. However, it gave very little power to the federal government and failed to establish an executive branch (aka president). Along with this, it gave the federal government very little power to raise an army. This weakness was put on display during Shay's Rebellion and was one of the many causes behind the US adopting the new constitution.
The French and Indian War is seen as one of the biggest causes of the American Revolution. This is because the British government put taxes on the American colonists in order to pay the war debt. King George III did this without the consent of the colonists, who immediately revolted against this idea.
Imperialism during the 1890s is more of direct colonization, meaning direct rule with the help of some representatives or officials. Today, countries no longer are directly colonized but are tied down with other superior countries through economic laws and agreements calling it as neo-colonialism. Neo-colonialism means holding power through indirect rule.
