Constitution and the bill of rights

The President: For the countries the president is important since they have a democracy contrarly to when they had a king that thought that he had the power given to him by God, and they ad to follow the rules that were imposed and nearly had no rights. They had to follow the ruling and many times it was unfair to the people. The idea of revolting against that was a good idea.
Congress: Congress was important because sometimes the government would think differently than the people but when they did a congress it was what picked the choice of the majority. It is sort of like the parlement today.
The Federal Court: I think that the federal court was important because the people had a chance to be judged and if somebody did something wrong they will be punished and it sort of put order to the popluation. Also it is what set limits since people didn't like being punished. The judges were choosen by the president

Colonists

Colonists were generally under estimated and did every thing they could to be free. They tried to revolt against the laws and it was hard for them in the beginning but after time more and more people started being part of the revolution and this revolution started having more strength. Finally they were listened to.
