Liberty and Republicanism within the North American Context: A Study of the American Revolution and the Canadian Rebellions

Abstract

The Atlantic Revolutions of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries were prosecuted on the advancement of liberty and republicanism. Within the North American context, these broad tenets articulated the importance of a sovereign, educated and virtuous citizenry as well as the standards of an effective government constitutionally constrained in its authority. The American Revolution and the Canadian Rebellions stand as specific affirmations of these principles.
