Question

How did the struggle between parliament and the English monarch affect American ideas about government?

Answer 1

It helped the Americans decide what type of government they did and did not want. From experience and all they had to go through, they knew they didn't want a monarch. They wanted a government, where everyone had a say, so democracy was the way to go.

Answer 2

"The struggle for supremacy between Parliament and the monarchy affected American ideas about government check and balances. In large part, the American Revolution resulted from Parliament's failure to check the monarchy's sovereignty and establish itself as the supreme lawmaking body representing the people of England and its colonies."
