Prior to the troubles with Britain, the average colonist considered themselves British citizens, and due to the lax style of governing the British had employed, were used to a certain amount of self-governance. After the war, they wanted a government that lacked the power to become autocratic, and would consider its foremost goal, the protection of the people's rights. They wanted equal representation in Congress, and the guarantees established in the Bill of Rights.
