Question

how was the outcome of the french revolution most like that of the american revolution?
○ it weakened the power of the church over government.
○ it upheld natural rights when it drafted the declaration of independence.
○ it created a new constitution that protected peoples’ rights.
○ it attempted to eliminate the power of the king to control citizens’ religion.

Explanation:

• Option A: The American Revolution's main focus wasn't weakening church - government power, and the French Revolution's relation to this was more complex and not the main similarity in outcomes.
• Option B: The Declaration of Independence was drafted in the American Revolution, not the French Revolution, so this option is factually incorrect.
• Option C: The American Revolution led to the creation of the US Constitution (and earlier state constitutions) protecting rights, and the French Revolution led to constitutions (like the Constitution of 1791) that aimed to protect people's rights, making this a key similarity.
• Option D: Controlling citizens' religion was not a main outcome similarity; both revolutions were more about political and rights - based changes rather than religious control by the king.

Answer:

C. It created a new constitution that protected peoples’ rights.
