Answer 1

Question: "Which statement correctly describes the global impact of the American Revolution?"

Answer: "The statement 'It proved that a colonial revolt could produce a nation with an elected leader an an elected legislature." is probably the best out of the given statements that correctly describes the global impact of the American Revolution. Hence, Option B is correct."

Answer 2

The American Revolution has proven to be a powerful influence at the global level, as something that is feasible and possible, but also as something necessary. Of course, political and economic reforms can be carried out peacefully, but this requires a prerequisite, an independent, legal and democratic state, which was not the relation of the monarchist Britain to the colonies. Therefore, we can not say that a monarch or an absolutist always takes care of the reforms and needs of the people. Just for parallels, such an example was the monarchist imperial emperor Nicholas in Russia just before the October Revolution.

Therefore, the global influence and character of the American Revolution is best described by the second offered option.
