Which war was that - the revolutionary war? I would suggest that was more about establishing our own 'big government' than being governed by England...

  One can argue that the revolutionary war was about the power of government. See the 3rd thru 10th amendments, specifically the 3rd and 4th. The war was as much about the question of what the powers of government ought to be as anything else.

    If you want to understand the motives of the Revolutionary War, look at the Articles of Confederation rather than the current Constitution.

      Or, better, the Declaration of Independence.
