Background Information
More
than 200 years ago, the people living in the 13 colonies of the “New
World” declared themselves free from the government of England. After
a long and difficult war, called the American Revolution or the Revolutionary
War, the English government agreed to let the people in the colonies rule
themselves. A new country, called the United States of America, was born.
But now the people of this new country had another problem. They were
free to form a wonderful, different government, but how would that look?
The only form of government they knew was one in which a king ruled.
