One can argue that the revolutionary war was as much about the power of government, as it was about representation.
See the 3rd thru 10th amendments, specifically the 3rd and 4th.
The question is not whether the government is federal, or more of a confederation, it was what the rights of that government, and the rights of the people ought to be.
- dragonwriter 9y ago> See the 3rd thru 10th amendments, specifically the 3rd and 4th I'm not sure how Amendments to the Constitution which replaced the Articles of Confederation provide any evidence whatsoever about the purposes of the Revolutionary War (they provide evidence of the concerns that needed to be addressed as part of the massive centralization, relative to the AoC, that the Constitution represented, but that's a whole different issue.)
- Aloha 9y agoThe genesis of the bill of rights has more to do with how the British ran government in the colonies, and dealt with dissenting opinion than with just the concerns of the anti-federalists. Specifically in re the 3rd amendment.
