How did the Revolutionary war affect the government and society of the United States?

Question

Damon · Answer

What on earth does that question mean?

Without the Revolution we would not have a United States.

We would be part of the British Commonwealth.

We would probably have a more parliamentary form of government
with a prime minister. See Canada and other countries that report to Queen Elizabeth (in theory).

First of all, there was no United States before the Revolutionary War! The thirteen colonies were ruled by the British in London. A whole new government had to be established after the Revolution. If your text materials are unclear, you can start here:

Yes I was quite confused, my teacher had given us this project to do and these are some of the questions we had to answer. Thank you though, I am starting to understand it.

Reed · Answer

You will (or should) discover that the 13 colonies had no representation in the British parliament. The new government included (still does) a Congress with representation from all the people of the United States and each individual state. That is a profound change that influenced everything that happened from thence forward.
