question 20 of 28
in what way were the consequences of the american and french revolutions similar?
a. both produced documents that advocated natural rights.
b. both led to the abolition of slavery in each region.
c. both resulted in the elimination of taxes.
d. both contributed to the destruction of the middle class.

Explanation:

• The American Revolution produced the Declaration of Independence, and the French Revolution produced the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. Both documents advocated natural rights (e.g., life, liberty, equality).
• Option B: Slavery was not abolished in the US right after the American Revolution, and in France, abolition was more complex and not an immediate direct result of the revolution in the same way.
• Option C: Neither revolution eliminated taxes entirely; new tax systems were established.
• Option D: Both revolutions generally supported the growth of the middle class, not its destruction.

Answer:

A. Both produced documents that advocated natural rights.
