Second Continental Congress----HAHAHHA awesome same question I have on my summer homework for honers XD looked it up online as well :P
Nothing. at the time of the war the English were untested in spreading their authority as far and as wide as they could. The Americas were a source of income for them and they felt that they had the power to keep it.
Declared a boycott of British Goods.
the decision to keep deliberations as secret as possible.
Probably better defined as a civil war or internal revolution where justification isn't relevant, it may have been avoidable, reconciliation may have been possible, but it worked out.
Does the country really need an executive branch
Second Continental Congress
Hancock was a prominent leader in the American colonies, was very active in the creation of the United States. Without Hancock, it is possible that the American revolution would not have succeeded.
The French Revolution occurred because the people saw how effective the American Revolution was and they realized it was possible to change their government.
The olive branch petition
They learned that freedom was possible.
Since Germany was not yet a single country at the time of the American Revolution, it is not possible to say which side the country supported. However, the Germanic mercenaries that fought in the American Revolution fought for the British against the Americans.
I would say American Revolution because it was known as a 'world war' at that time. It also told countries that the 13 colonies were now known as the United Stated is America. The American Revolution had a greater impact. The French Revolution gained strength and motivation from the Americans. The US Constitution remains the oldest document that continues to maintain a democracy. I would agree as well. While the French Revolution seems to be more revered around the world, the fact remains that the French were highly inspired by the Americans' successful revolution less than ten years prior. The Americans showed that it was possible for the people to overtake a monarchy. Of course, the French fell victim to their own revolution as did the English and both restored monarchical-type rulers. The American Revolution remains singular in that it didn't fall into the hands of a dictator/tyrant/monarch.
Its generally accepted that the population of the thirteen colonies totaled three million, roughly. There was no census then, so this is a careful estimate. An exact number is not possible.
The Boston Massacre helped create the idea among American colonists that a Revolution can be possible
It rejected traditional social, religious, and political values.

They had slavery because of greed on the part of American landowners. Their large plantations, particularly cotton, would not have been possible with paid labour.
