A reaction to aristocratic power
<u>The colonial governments had impact on american politics and institutions, through the following facts:</u>
<u>1. The idea of a common central government became increasingly popular</u> as criticism of British centralism took a violent form. The settlers' original dream of reforming old institutions and establishing a new civilization was unique and dual.
<u>2. The War of Independence was the first modern political revolution.</u> It started with the universal democratic slogan: "no taxation without representation".
<u>3. The Declaration of Independence in 1776 represented a revolutionary vision of mankind and its institutions</u>, emphasizing the natural necessity of separation and independence.
<u>4. The Constitution, based on a federal model, established a prototype of interstate relationships according to the principle of divided sovereignty,</u> setting up a republican system in which no branch of the government could exercise any despotic authority over the others.
