Question

How did the American revolution influence the French Revolution?

Answer 1

The French were inspired by Americans protesting and rebelling against the British Monarchy, fighting for life and liberty. At this time, i believe, the French King had been using too much executive power and not helping the lower class.

Answer 2

The French Revolution was influenced by various political experiences of other nations. The American Revolution was one the most significant events that served as a model for those seeking change in France. For example, the ideas of the Enlightment flowed from the former North American colonies to France, and, moreover, the French National Assembly used the American Declaration of Independence as inspiration when drafting the Declaration of Rights of Man and the Citizen in 1789.
