A matter of thought

Too Lee,

While it remains a logical impossibility, you must realize that that revolutions do not come about in a day--years and even decades does it take to gather support, furthermore, it requires the intellectuals of the time to put forth revolutionary ideas, which the philosphes later market to the public. Most of the revolutionary thinkers were French, the American slogan of "life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness" comes from Roussoues slogan, "life, liberty and pursuit of wealth," even the American constituion is a blue print of Montesquieus The Spirit of Laws. It is thus a mere conincidene that the French Revolution happened later, but all the the thought of the French revolution drove the American Revolution.
