Abstract

Throughout the mid-1700's resistance to British control in the colonies grew as Britain tried to consolidate their empire through a series of ordinances after the Seven Years' war. Although the passage of the Stamp Act, Declaratory Act, Sugar Act, and the Townshend Duties did not inevitably hurry the revolution, they did cause colonists to question how much influence Parliament had and should have within the american colonies.

Around the same time, colonists were also exposed to Enlightenment thought which placed stress upon reason, information and experimentation, and John Locke's opinion that the government exists to protect the individual's right to property, life and liberty. The republican and Whig ideologies were also spread throughout the colonies. The republican stress on popular sovereignty, representative government, the 'filtration' system, a natural aristocracy and public virtue supplemented the colonists' disgust at the corruption of the British government and illuminated the contrasting governmental differences between the colonies and their mother country.
