American patriots managed to fight for independence from the British crown and parliament in 1781 when they defeated the British army at Yorktown. Thanks to the colonists, a new nation fought for natural law ideals - freedom, equality, happiness, and civil rights. The first US Constitution was adopted in 1789, and it primarily fulfilled all the revolutionary ideals of the American Revolution in theory. Colonies established self-government, which was the goal. The first American Constitution was not perfect, it had its faults and shortcomings, but it provided the foundations of a democratic republic that inspired others.
