This is from a very interesting website on the American Revolution detailing what might well have been the very first shot in the Revolution: https://allthingsliberty.com/2018/03/conspiracy-destroy-gaspee/. Fascinating stuff!
The American Constitution is remarkable for its simplicity; but can only suffice a people habitually correct in their actions, and would be utterly inadequate to the wants of a different nation.  Change the domestic habits of the Americans, their religious devotion, and their high respect for morality, and it will not be necessary to change a single letter in the Constitution in order to vary the whole form of their government. - Francis Grund 1837
