There was no definitive government or document that defined the American Rebel Movement and until the Treaty of Paris 1783, the United States was no legally an independent nation, so no legal treatise of government would have held sway in a court of law. On the ground de facto law during the Revolution was contemporaneous British Common Law (as concerned things like property, marriage, burial rights, and so forth). When General Lord Cornwallis surrendered, the Articles of Confederation became a de facto system of laws until the Treaty of Paris 1783 made them de jure law.
