 * Meritocracy
 * Government is formed from the people
 * These assumptions that were made when governments were first starting to appear in the us were generally good. They made the right decision when adopting a republican theory. Aristocracy was gave to much power to one person and the people of the colonies had seen how corrupt the british government had become. No one person was able to determine the outcome of a nation and evberyone would have to be able to earn success rather than be born and your position in life pre-determined.

Chapter 5 Questions 4-6 4.The war economy for the colonists was terrible. The new American government was only able to finance the war by borowing money form other nations.

5.The initial structure American Republicanism was a political system in which all power came from the people. The success of this kind of government depended on the the people heavily. If the Population of the people consisted if sturdy, independent, property owners with civic virtue, then the government could survive. If cnosisted of a few yet powerful arstocrats with a great mass of dependent workers, then it would be in trouble. This government was based on the idea of all men were eqaul.The governments of the ststes were stronger than the one at the national level.

6. The difference between a revolution and a war for independence is that a revolution infers a complte overhaul of whatever government and its laws that were in before. Whereas a war for independence the people of a country or state might keep all that was in place for them but they just wanted the control for themselves.
