Violence Levels

- The American Revolution involved battles but was less brutal overall.
Outcomes
- The U.S. created a stable democracy relatively quickly.
- In France, things were messy with Napoleon taking power later.
-Colonists were mad about being taxed by Britain without having any representation in British Parliament ("No taxation without representation!").
- Examples: Stamp Act, Tea Tax—these unfair taxes sparked rebellion.
- In France, the Third Estate (common people) paid most of the taxes, but they had no real political power. Meanwhile, the wealthy nobles and clergy were barely taxed at all—super unfair!

How was the American Government set up to protect american citizens?
1. Three Branches of Government
- Legislative (Congress): Makes laws. - Executive (President): Enforces laws, but with limited power. - Judicial (Supreme Court): Interprets laws to ensure fairness.
This "separation of powers" ensures no branch becomes too powerful.
2. Checks and Balances
- Each branch can "check" the others to keep things balanced.
3. Constitution and Bill of Rights
- The Constitution is like the rules for running the government. - The Bill of Rights protects freedoms like speech, religion, and press, so no leader can take them away.
4. Elections
- Leaders (even the President) are elected by the people, not inherited like a king's throne. - Power is temporary—Presidents serve a max of two 4-year terms.
By doing all this, they made sure we wouldn’t accidentally end up with another “King George” situation!

Avoid neglecting the right to withdraw: Participants should be able to leave the study at any time, no questions asked.
