Answers is a serious site, and also a not so serious one.
People tend to look at questions like yours as from people who want someone to do their homework for them.
You would do best looking up a lot of these through "Wikipedia", on the internet.
Now, to the ones I know a little about:
The Boston Tea Party was a very loud statement on the part of the Colonists in Mass. that they did not like being taxed by the Home Country. One of the issues that led to the War of Independence, was in fact, the issue of Taxation without Representation (that is representation in the English Parliament).
The Dec. of Independence and the War of Independence were very important, because the Colonies successfully gained their independence from Britain through them.
The Declaration set the stage for an experimental government giving greater voice to the people, and the War accomplished the freedom to create a nation from the ground up, as it were.
The Constitution set forth a type of government which was meant to make tyranny impossible (and that is not proving to be true, as the Judicial Branch gave itself too many powers and that was allowed to stand). Be that as it may, America has been a grand experiment in democracy and it's success is testified to by the large numbers of immigrants who have historically come here and continue to come, believing they have more freedom to create a good life for themselves than in their own countries.
The rest, I am afraid, I can't say much about, and even the one's I have spoken of, well, there is a lot more, and probably more germaine to be said.
Happy studies:
Maggie

The all have to do with basic human rights, or what we perceive as human rights. They were all important cause each is a step closer to total independance from England. If these events had never happened we'd still be ruled by the Brits, and treated as less than worthy cause we're not English.

importance for what ? it is complicated to work out it making any distinction in any respect to something or all and diverse. we've survived for hundreds of years without understanding with regard to the existence of this volcanic vent, and we'd proceed doing completely nicely without ever understanding approximately it. it is ridiculous to assume that it has any particular importance in any respect.

Their all part of the American Revolution.
What? Did someone at some school tell all his/her classmates that they could get answers here to their schoolwork? We're getting the same questions over and over and over again.
