Well im not 100% sure but in my head i can think of a "creation of a system of philosophy based on logic and observation". hope its right though
Because people can learn from other people, in both in failures and in successes. The founding fathers of the United States took after the Roman republic in modeling after there government. This is why the United States Congress is structured in the same manner as the Roman Congress. Versus the rectangular or roundtable types of congresses that are seen in European countries.
They also took after the Romans on the idea of a republic being comprised of people elected to represent them. These people are also meant to be changed out on a regular basis. And that the public was in control of who was calling the shots on their behalf.
Because it didn’t receive support from the senate. Also the U.S wanted to keep America out of European affairs.
The British had a more organized army than the Colonists, and they also had more financial support. However, Americans had the knowledge of the land, as they were fighting on American soil.
i only brefily skimmed the paper so sorry if this doesnt help, but i think it would be cool if you acted as though you are a character investigating this situation kind of like jughead on riverdale lol
