Colonial Independance

Exploring a new land created some inspiration, but I would say that the most effective subject of inspiration would be experiencing the renaissance. It was a time for original ideas, and new ways of thinking, and it opened up new doors and ways of seeing the world and it's development.

For example, the article "Common Sense" by Benjamin Franklin demonstrated new ideas about how the government was structured. He suggested that being a representative of the government was a privilege, and that the government worked for the people and not the other way around. The reason his article was so effective was because it was all relatively common sense, yet people had not thought of it in that way. He was able to get the majority of the people to agree with him and that helped in the defence against the biggest struggle of their time.

The colonists were not only frustrated because of the amount of control the government had, but because they abused that control in the sense of their own benefit and not necessarily the benefit of the people. To create a solution to this conflict, thirteen colonial representatives gathered and came up with the solution of creating the bill of rights, and presented it to the British Empire. With this peice of successful writing in hand, it inspired some pioneers to create the constitution of indipendance. Then they had the Revolutionary war because the King refused their request for independance, and after a successful battle the colonies signed a treaty and were finally independant on September 3.
