    The American Revolution along with the political thinking of the time influenced the shape of the American Democracy in a number of ways. Due to the colonies previous imperial control by the British as well as their long held grievances of fighting for representation for what they believed was unfair taxation shaped the way the colonial leaders sought to structure the American Government. Fearing monarchical type governance or a central government that could impinge on individual and collective freedoms the Constitutional framers created a government that was bound by the Constitution to a system that gave and limited the powers of the government as a whole as well as the branches with in the government. These provisions were all born out of the long history of perceived oppression and the struggle that followed to end British control of the colonies.
