T

he economic protests of the 1760s drew inspiration from the religious

fervor of the First Great Awakening and the theories of natural rights

of the European Enlightenment. The democratic forces that were

unleashed by the American Revolution also depended on religious and

intellectual ideas and ultimately forced Americans to confront issues

that were larger than independence.

With independence achieved, Americans wrestled with the degree of liberty

that was promised by their self-proclaimed ideals: How much power should

be given to a national government? How much power lay in the hands of the

democratic majority? What rights of the minority were to be protected, and how

would they be protected? Within ten years of independence, the United States

scrapped one national constitution, the Articles of Confederation, and instituted

another, the Constitution—in some cases over the protests of Americans who

had supported independence.
