How did the experience of the early colonists shape americas political and social ideals?

The experience of the early colonists living under what they perceived as oppressive British rule shaped the way that they formed the U.S. Government and how they sought to govern themselves. The colonists experience with a monarchical government led them to create a democratic government that included checks and balances to uphold the democratic nature of the state in the face of actors or branches that sought to gain too much power. Overall the colonial experience greatly shaped the early political and social values of the American Government.
