hints：Glorious Revolution
The relationships between settlers and native Americans (also called Indians) were good and bad. In some areas, the two groups traded and were friendly. In most cases, as the settlements grew bigger, the settlers forced the Indians to move. As time went on, all the colonies developed governments based on the British tradition of citizen participation. In Britain, the Glorious Revolution of 1688 - 1689 limited the power of the king and gave more power to the people. The American colonists closely observed these changes. Colonial assemblies claimed the right to act as local parliaments. They passed laws that limited the power of the royal governor and increased their own authority. Disagreements between the royal governors and the assemblies continued. The colonists realized that their interests often were different from Britain's interests. At first, the colonists wanted self-government within a British commonwealth. Only later did they want independence.
定居者和当地的美国人（也称为印度人）之间的关系是好的和坏的。在一些区域，两个族群进行贸易并且很友好。在大部分区域，随着定居点的扩大，定居者强迫印度人移走。随着时间的推移，所有的殖民地发展成为以公民参与的英国贸易的政府。在英国，1688年到1689年的光荣革命限制国王的权利赋予人们更多的权利。美国殖民者密切关注着这些变化。殖民地议会声称有权利作为当地的议会。他们通过法律限制皇室总督的权利来增加他们自己的权威。在皇室总督和议会的分歧还在继续。殖民者意识到他们的利益不同于英国的利益。首先，殖民者想在英联邦内自治。仅仅是后来他们想独立的。
