摘要
《独立宣言》的发表,标志着美利坚合众国的成立。但在从《独立宣言》发表的1776年7月到基于1787年宪法建立强有力的联邦中央政府带领合众国走上发展正轨的这一时期,美国实际上是面临着严重的内忧外患--由13个松散的邦联组成的合众国内部团结不足,动荡不安;对外面临着强大敌人大英帝国恼羞成怒般的报复——合众国宣称独立,在大英帝国看来就是反叛,实际上就是向大英帝国宣战。即使在战争结束英国承认美国独立后,在美国西部边界外及北面的加拿大境内,仍然驻有大量的英军。因而,1776年至1787年这一时期实际上是合众国发展史上一个艰难而又显得尤为关键的阶段。
The Declaration of Independence announced in July 1776 marks the establishment of the United States of America. But from 1776 to 1787 in which a strong central government was established based on the Constitution America was actually facing serious internal and external problems the thirteen states composed of the United States were just a loose and turbulent confederation without enough internal unity, the British Empire an external formidable enemy would attack America angrily with great retaliation. To declare independence meant both rebellion and war against the British Empire. Even after the war the British Empire recognized American independence, there were still a large number of British troops sta tioned outside the western and northern boundary of the United States. So the period from 1776 to 1787 was indeed a difficult and critical stage in American history.
