American Revolution changes in American Society

Hi everyone, I have a DBQ due on Friday that I'm having a little trouble putting together. The prompt is:

"To what extent did the American Revolution fundamentally change American society? In your answer, be sure to address the political, social, and economic effects of the Revolution in the period from 1775 to 1800."

You may recognize this as the DBQ from the 2005 AP US History exam :p .

[URL=http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/ap/students/ushistory/ap05_fr... documents/prompt can be found here[/URL]

So what I have so far and what we did in class was:

Document A represents expansion of women's roles (her rifle, but still domestic because of her dress). Some examples are: spinning bees, Daughters of Liberty, and "republican motherhood"

Document B is against Tories (loyalists), with examples of Treaty of Paris, treatment of the agents of the Writs of assistance

Doc C represents hopeful peace between Native Americans and the US

Doc D represents freedom of religion (examples: 1st amendment, Bill of rights)

Doc E is the lack of peace between Indians and US (ex: Creek Indians, Land Ordinance of 1789, and Treaty of Grenville)

Doc F represents an agraian society, with examples of Thomas Jefferson and Republicanism.

As for the rest of the documents, I have no idea.
So i was wondering if anyone could help me with the rest of the documents along with tying these examples and ideas together, because I have no idea how they fit into one essay. Thanks!

G - Jerferson discussing reblellion against the judicial system because they are concidered "unfair"

H - Freed the slaves in Ohio River Valley (a step towards a slave free country)

I - madison basicly saying that if people were all good there would be no need for a government but since thats not the case a good one is required.

Thanks, that's great help. But now I need help in the actual putting together of the paragraphs. Like, I don't know if it should be Doc A and C in body paragraph 1 then Doc B and D (these are just random examples) in bparagraph 2, or what. aka what order should I put them in?
