Understanding the American Revolution: Models of Change and Its Aftermath

The American Revolution represents a profound shift in the balance between authority and liberty, marked by various key phases including initial contentment, systemic strain, and breaking points that led to significant change. This analysis explores the factors contributing to the revolution, such as fiscal irresponsibility, class struggles, and the role of prominent figures. It further examines the aftermath and the establishment of a new government framework that transcended the original balance, leading to a counter-revolution in the form of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
