Respuesta :

1) We realized that the king was terrible so we started revolting. John Locke was a big part of it as well
2) That we can create our own government, that it's "Common Sense" to stop following a terrible king
3) Taxing of items including tea
4) a Democratic society governed by the people
5) we couldn't tax people so we made the constitution after the shays rebellion which gave us more power over the states thus them having to pay taxes
1) it meant that we would be much happier governing ourselves 
2) The Constitution is proof that we could run a government by ourselves and without a king. 
3) Federalists wanted the Constitution whilst the Anti-Federalists were against it
4) Freedom of speech gave us freedom to protest and say whatever we wanted without we being charged. Limits included women had no say and African-Americans also had no say. Right to bear arms gave us the right to carry a firearm but we can't use it for legal murder
5) Two thirds of both houses (Senate and Congress) need to vote in order to amend the constitution
