Declaration of Independence , July 2 1776 was the date approved by the continental congress even though the document is dated July 4th . Was written after long deliberations among the different Colonies. This was the result of the British moving on Concord to confiscate the arms from the armory of the local militia . There are several reasons why they were kept in an armory , mostly from the standpoint that when needed and poor communications at that time it became a first come first served as to who got the arms generally supplied by the British, this was not for the purpose of crime control as everyone had their own private hunting arms. This occurred at the battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, so it was a measured response over a year later that the Declaration of Independence was written with the names of 56 men who in effect signed their own death warrants by committing Treason in the eyes of the King. https://declaration.fas.harvard.edu/resources/text

- The French Revolution , It was the French forces in the final battle of the American revolution lead by Marquis de Lafayette in 1781 at Yorktown that won the final battle against the British with 7000 French troops . Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson were later ambassadors to France. Thomas Paine who wrote the pamphlets, 'Common Sense' and a supporter of leftist ideology widely circulated in the colonies only escaped the Guillotine during the French revolt by accidental luck ! There were many reasons for what the French revolt took place but it was the oppression of the commoners that eventuated in protest and then the storming of the Bastille and the loss of control of the of the King over the country ,, in a large part by a lawyer Robespierre who headed the Mountain party which is cited by Marx and Engels as the base of their book the Communist Manifesto and later cited by Vladimir Lenin for his version of Communism . So, Socialist and Communist ideologies existed before and this is historically cited as a early experiment of that ideology. At the conclusion of the revolution the group known as the Commune was the governing body until a revolt against it threw out the new ideology to a more conservative referred to as the Thermidor which was later overthrown by Neapolitan . This was a clash between radical leftist similar to Socialists and Communist as exemplified by Jacinda Ardern , and the Thermidor exemplified by the Loyal party and conservative views of how a relationship exist between the people and a government , aka a people that direct the government or a committee of government officials that direct the people .
