Answer

__________________________________________________________

According to Quora,

The Plymouth colony is important because the American people have decided that it represents who they (Anglo-White-Americans) are as a nation. 

 __________________________________________________________

It wasn’t particularly significant otherwise. 

 __________________________________________________________

Was it the first colony? 

Not remotely, there were plenty of other colonies all over the coast of America that came before it. 

 __________________________________________________________

Was it the most successful? 

 

Not really. It was the first truly successful BRITISH colony, but there were lots of other far more successful colonies started in North America that has continued to this day. 

 __________________________________________________________

So… why such a big deal? 

 

Well… I guess it is a number of contributing factors: 

 

The Plymouth Colony was the first truly self-sufficient British colony. The British established the ‘Thirteen colonies’ who eventually declared their independence from Britain as the ‘United States of America’.

 __________________________________________________________

It’s worth noting though that The United States of America at this point was only a small fraction of what we now know as the USA. 

 

The 13 Colonies / USA effectively merged with (gained control of) the large French and Spanish territories, subsuming their settlements and people. 

 

Despite the fact that the modern USA is made up of Spanish, French, British, African, and native colonists/settlers (as well as from every other nation on Earth), the white-British historical viewpoint and narrative are still dominant.

Of what relevance are the Glorious Revolution and the English Bill of Rights to government in the United States?

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Many of the ideas concerning separation of powers and protection of rights were implemented in the United States.

Explanation:

The 1688 revolution, also known as the glorious revolution, was influenced by political and religious difficulties in the country at that time. It resulted in the dismissal of King James II. It promoted the power of parliament by diminishing the power of the monarchy and influencing the current democratic laws of Great Britain.

After the effects of the glorious revolution, the declaration of the rights of England was drafted, this declaration was intended to establish the duties and rights of the king and citizens, as well as to separate each of the powers.

Following the example of England, when the United States of America proclaimed its independence from Great Britain, it took as an example the declaration of rights of England to draft the Declaration of Independence, which establishes the human rights of the new nation. It also takes as an example of the separation of powers by separately establishing the executive, judicial, and legislative power.

I hope this information can help you.
