Did the settlers have rules or laws to follow?

Of course. ALL civilized nations of the world (and even some "un-civilized" ones), all have a codified rule of law. This has been true since ancient civilizations to present. When people immigrate, they bring their knowledge of former rules and laws with them. In the case of Colonial America, settlers were under British rule, so the colonists brought British rule and rules with them. If they were not from Britain, people were expected to adapt to British laws. However, British colonists finally had enough of British taxes and revolted. When the colonists made their own government and laws, people were expected to adapt to the rules and laws of The United States of America. This remains true today. (And immigrants to other countries are expected to follow their laws.)

What was the main reason the colonists won ageist the British?

Guerrilla warfare. The British fought a standard military strategy where soldiers would line up and face the enemy "toe to toe" so to speak. When the colonists tried to fight the British in this manner they were woefully outmatched. Guerrilla warfare changed all of that, as the colonist refused to go head to head with the dragon and instead would use pebbles to attract the dragons attention, leading the dragon to the edge of a the cliff where the dragon would fall over and cause his own demise. I don't mean pebbles and dragons literally. I mean the colonist fought dirty. They ignored the classic rules of war and fought to win.
