The document discusses the history of imperialism and the Enlightenment period. It notes that Spain conquered South America and Britain took over North America through imperialism. The American colonies were settled by British colonists who were educated Protestants and owned land, with African slaves also present. The Enlightenment period saw philosophers like John Locke and Adam Smith challenge authority and argue governments should serve people based on reason and law. Adam Smith's book The Wealth of Nations promoted ideas like self-interest and laissez-faire economics.

CHAPTER 7
Creating Republican Governments,
1776–1790
Figure 7.1 John Trumbull, Washington’s aide-de-camp, painted this wartime image of
Washington on a promontory
above the Hudson River. Just behind Washington, his slave William “Billy” Lee has
his eyes firmly fixed on his master.
In the far background, British warships fire on an American fort.
Chapter Outline
7.1 Common Sense: From Monarchy to an American Republic
7.2 How Much Revolutionary Change?
7.3 Debating Democracy
7.4 The Constitutional Convention and Federal Constitution
Introduction
After the Revolutionary War, the ideology that “all men are created equal” failed
to match up with
reality, as the revolutionary generation could not solve the contradictions of
freedom and slavery in the
new United States. Trumbull’s 1780 painting of George Washington (Figure 7.1) hints
at some of these
contradictions. What attitude do you think Trumbull was trying to convey? Why did
Trumbull include
Washington’s slave Billy Lee, and what does Lee represent in this painting?
During the 1770s and 1780s, Americans took bold steps to define American equality.
Each state held
constitutional conventions and crafted state constitutions that defined how
government would operate
and who could participate in political life. Many elite revolutionaries recoiled in
horror from the idea of
majority rule—the basic principle of democracy—fearing that it would effectively
create a “mob rule” that
would bring about the ruin of the hard-fought struggle for independence. Statesmen
everywhere believed
that a republic should replace the British monarchy: a government where the
important affairs would be
entrusted only to representative men of learning and refinement.

7.1 Common Sense: From Monarchy to an American Republic
By the end of this section, you will be able to:
• Compare and contrast monarchy and republican government
• Describe the tenets of republicanism
While monarchies dominated eighteenth-century Europe, American revolutionaries were
determined to
find an alternative to this method of government. Radical pamphleteer Thomas Paine,
whose enormously
popular essay Common Sense was first published in January 1776, advocated a
republic: a state without a
king. Six months later, Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence affirmed the break
with England but did
not suggest what form of government should replace monarchy, the only system most
English colonists
had ever known. In the late eighteenth century, republics were few and far between.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence.

Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
