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 1: The American Revolution's main focus wasn't weakening church - government power, and the French Revolution's church - power weakening isn't the main similarity with the American Revolution's outcome.
• Option 2: The Declaration of Independence was part of the American Revolution, but the French Revolution drafted the Declaration of the Rights of Man, not the Declaration of Independence, so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: The American Revolution led to the creation of the US Constitution (and state constitutions) protecting rights, and the French Revolution led to the creation of constitutions (like the Constitution of 1791) that aimed to protect people's rights. This is a key similarity.
• Option 4: Controlling citizens' religion was not a main focus of either revolution's outcome in terms of similarity. The American Revolution was about independence from Britain, and the French Revolution was about overthrowing the monarchy and establishing a new order with rights, not mainly about religious control by the king.

Answer:

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