Dear Akashbeer,

Following were the causes of the American War of Independence:

  • The British colonies settled on the East Coast of North America were making huge profits as a result of the successful trade and abundantly available natural resources. However, the British government felt that the profits should go to its own coffers and hence levied heavy taxes on the colonists.
  • The British Crown was attempting to put economic restrictions on the conduction of trade in the colonies.
  • The British expected the colonists to cough up the funds for the defense of their territories. In return, the colonists expected to get representation in the British Parliament.

Following were the resultsof the American War of Independence:

  • The American Revolution resulted in the emergence of the independent country of the United States of America.
  • It also gave currency to the concept of ‘Right of Revolution’ and made people the absolute sovereign in a political state.
  • It recognised the supremacy of the Constitution over the Government, hence providing a guiding principle to all future democratic experiments.
