Question

a. both replaced democracies with dictatorships.

b. both saw colonies win their independence from european empires.

c. both weakened french influence in north america.

d. both were motivated by a desire for religious freedom.

Explanation:

The American Revolution was the 13 British - American colonies winning independence from the British Empire. The Mexican War of Independence was Mexico winning independence from the Spanish Empire. Both involved colonies gaining independence from European empires. Option A is incorrect as neither replaced democracies with dictatorships. The Mexican War of Independence had little to do with weakening French influence in North - America (C is wrong), and religious freedom was not the main motivation for either (D is wrong).

Answer:

B. Both saw colonies win their independence from European empires.
