Glorious revolution of 1688 in england: divine rights of monarch were curbed. Century later: idea of subjects becoming citizens with constitutionally guaranteed rights and duties, represented by the parliament spread from great britain to north america, france and haiti. Their revolutions were radical as they rejected traditional monarchy, royal/parliamentary power and led republican, middle-class or liberated slave nation-states. Revolutions left great britain + france in debt = increase in taxes = another. Victory in the seven years" war for britain meant taking over french possessions in canada and the revolution. France retreated entirely from the n. a. continent but britain was more in debt. 1763: 13 n. a colonies had experienced rapid growth which increased administrative challenges for the british who had to protect settlers from native aggression. Ongoing post-war economic slump made it worse.
