Historians such as Bernard Bailyn Gordon Wood and Edmund Morgan view the American Revolution as a unique and radical event that produced deep changes and had a profound effect on world affairs such as an increasing belief in the principles of the Enlightenment These were demonstrated by a leadership and government that espoused protection of natural rights and a system of laws chosen by the people.
