The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although no options were attached, we can say the following.

The religious fervor of the Great Awakening eventually spilled over to the political arena because people started to demand changes in US politics. Religious followers that listened to the preachers in church and learned about God's will, equality because humans are brothers and sisters, wanted the same from the government: a fair treatment with equality and equity in society. American people started to desire freedom from the English government and the idea of Independence started to spread.
