Just because people who attended Presbyterian Churches in America were a predominant factor in the revolution against England does not in any way mean that it was the soteriology of the revolutionaries that led to the revolution.But Calvinist soteriology does directly relate to the system of government they set up. I mean the first point, total depravity, and all the anthopological doctrine surrounding it, in particular.

All men are created equally bad?
Guilty until proven guilty?

I believe that our form of government can only exist when the populace has a Christian worldview. Is that what you mean?
