The American Revolution was more successful in building and consolidating institutions, in solving the religious question with the First Amendment, but they also had advantages the French did not have. In terms of influence, the French Revolution has been more exportable than the American one.

Hayes as a significant effect of the French Revolution across Europe. The effects on French nationalism was profound.
