Question

question 10 of 10
which historical event influenced the american revolution by rejecting the idea that kings had absolute power?
a. english civil war
b. french revolution
c. the boston massacre
d. glorious revolution

Explanation:

The Glorious Revolution (1688 - 1689) in England established that the power of the monarchy was not absolute. It led to the Bill of Rights (1689) which limited the powers of the king or queen. This idea of limited monarchy and the rejection of absolute royal power influenced the American colonists. The English Civil War (1642 - 1651) was more about a power struggle between Parliament and the monarchy in England, but its main outcome was the execution of Charles I and the establishment of a republic (which was short - lived). The French Revolution (1789) happened after the American Revolution. The Boston Massacre (1770) was a local incident in the American colonies that increased tensions with Britain but was not about the concept of absolute monarchy.

Answer:

D. Glorious Revolution
