I. Introduction
In the 1760s, Benjamin Rush, a native of Philadelphia, recounted a visit to Parliament. Upon seeing the king’s throne in the House of Lords, Rush said he “felt as if he walked on sacred ground” with “emotions that I cannot describe.”1 Throughout the eighteenth century, colonists had developed significant emotional ties with both the British monarchy and the British constitution. The British North American colonists had just helped to win a world war and most, like Rush, had never been more proud to be British. And yet, in a little over a decade, those same colonists would declare their independence and break away from the British Empire. Seen from 1763, nothing would have seemed as improbable as the American Revolution.
The Revolution built institutions and codified the language and ideas that still define Americans’ image of themselves. Moreover, revolutionaries justified their new nation with radical new ideals that changed the course of history and sparked a global “age of revolution.” But the Revolution was as paradoxical as it was unpredictable. A revolution fought in the name of liberty allowed slavery to persist. Resistance to centralized authority tied disparate colonies ever closer together under new governments. The revolution created politicians eager to foster republican selflessness and protect the public good but also encouraged individual self-interest and personal gain. The “founding fathers” instigated and fought a revolution to secure independence from Britain, but they did not fight that revolution to create a “democracy.” To successfully rebel against Britain, however, required more than a few dozen “founding fathers.” Common colonists joined the fight, unleashing popular forces that shaped the Revolution itself, often in ways not welcomed by elite leaders. But once unleashed, these popular forces continued to shape the new nation and indeed the rest of American history.

The 4th Amendment states that people shall not be subject to unreasonable searches and seizures, and no unreasonable warrants shall be issued for unreasonable searches and seizures without a good reason.
The 5th Amendment states that everyone has a right to a trial by jury, and that nobody shall be tried for the same crime more than once. It also prevents people from being forced to provide evidence that could be used to incriminate their own self. Finally, people's property or life or freedom cannot be taken away without due process of law, and private property that has been seized for public use will warrant just compensation.
The 6th Amendment states that every person has a right to a speedy and public trial, as well as the right to be confronted with the witnesses against their self, a right to an attorney in their case, and a right to know the charges they are being tried for.
