The American Revolution did not "cause" representative government. One of the results of the American Revolution was that the now independent former colonies needed to create a system of governance. They could have chosen any system that they wanted to and, in fact, considered a constitutional monarchy based on the British model. They then used the Articles of Confederation for nearly a decade which created a simple representative government in a confederal model. Eventually in 1789, that constitution was replaced with the current US Constitution that accorded truly representative government.
