 [CTRL] [3a] American Enterprise - Free and Not So Free
The profit motive was thus dominant in the establishment of all the American colonies save one; because of this original impulse, attempts would be made to hold settlers in the position of employees beholden for subsistence to a trading company, or in the status of liege servants to semi-feudal proprietors.
This caused resentment with the result that most colonies changed over, in time, from corporate (charter) or proprietary to royal control; after their experience with corporations and proprietors, many colonists came to believe that royal governors could not be worse, and might be better.

The polar opposite of this German political culture clearly was the political system proclaimed in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776, by a self-styled "continental" congress of delegates of thirteen colonies that the king of Britain had declared to be in a state of rebellion.
The explanation for Miller's and his helpers' political literacy was that for ten years they had translated and printed documents of, and reports on, the power struggles between royal governors and colonial assemblies, acts of parliaments, and speeches and pamphlets.
His explanation of the thirteen colonies' joint proclamation of national independence emphasized the overwhelming force of practical necessity: "The struggle with England demanded energetic cooperation." Referring to the ratification of the Constitution, Holst quoted John Quincy Adams as saying that "grinding necessity" had forced a reluctant public opinion to accept the national covenant.
