Question

use the text to compare and contrast the french revolution and the american revolution.
the american and french revolutions were separated by time period and location, yet they shared common themes. like the american revolution, the french revolution was a revolt against an oppressive monarchy, which is a form of government in which one person rules, usually a king or queen. in america, the colonists wanted independence from british rule; the french, meanwhile, wanted independence from elite aristocrats in their own country. the two revolutions also shared an emphasis on enlightenment ideals, which focused on the natural rights of all citizens. that said, the american revolution sought only to make a change in government. the french revolution, however, aimed to change far more about society: social structure, economy, and religion.
