c. the revolutions revealed that enlightenment ideas cannot be implemented in monarchies.
d. the revolutions demonstrated that democracy can be achieved only through armed conflict.

Explanation:

The American and French revolutions were examples of colonists or people rising up against European - based or European - styled rule. In the 19th century, Latin American colonists were inspired by these successful revolts against European monarchies and colonial powers. They saw that it was possible to gain independence. Diplomacy was not the main aspect of these revolutions. The revolutions were about implementing Enlightenment ideas, not about showing they couldn't be implemented in monarchies. And while they involved armed conflict, they didn't demonstrate that democracy can only be achieved through it.

Answer:

A. The revolutions showed that it was possible for colonists to succeed in revolting against European monarchs.
