All three conflicts involved and revolved around the British government. The English Civil War included factions devoted to the king of England and Scotland Charles I (and later Charles II) and factions loyal to the Long (later the Rump Parliament) who were upset at the insistence of Charles I to rule by divine right and most often without consulting Parliament. Meanwhile, the Glorious Revolution involved the factions loyal to English Catholic king James II (Jacobites) and his Protestant daughter and son-in-law, Mary and William, who were supported by English Parliamentarians. The American Revolution was a conflict between the British and American Patriots over grievances about how both the British king George III and Parliament ruled and enacted laws without representation from the colonies.

The Levellers' were a grassroots radical democratic political faction that emerged during the English Civil Wars. They wrote the Agreement of the People (1649), which embodied many of the ideas of constitutional government (insisting on a written conmstitution) and political freedom that influenced the U.S. Constitution (1787) and the Bill of Rights (1791). Although they were defeated in England, their ideas about government based on the consent of the governed, voting rights, the equality of all persons before the law, religious freedom, freedom of the press and civil liberties resonated with colonial Americans when they faced a "long train of abuses, repeated injuries and usurpations" (as stated in the Declaration of Independence) from the British Parliament and King George III from 1765-1775.
