Zusammenfassung:The Dutch Patriot Revolution of 1786 was interpreted by John Adams as a major assertion of popular sovereignty. Another interpretation of it is proposed that shares this viewpoint. The Dutch were drawn into the War of Independence as supporters of the US through a national popular movement largely organized through the guild system. The Patriot movement sought to challenge all levels of Dutch government, but at the same time claimed to seek only purification of the republican system already existing. The role of popular protest in this movement has only lately begun to gain the recognition it deserves. W. H. Stoddard
