Answer:

D. Citizens in many countries and colonies began demanding

democratic governments.

Step-by-step explanation:

The heroic and glorious fight of the American patriots and the independence won, as well as the ideas of equality and democratic rule embodied in the US Constitution were an inspiration for many people from different cultures and continents. That influence was relevant in the Spanish colonies of the Americas in the early 19th century. The criollos, the local rich people, wanted more power; a decadent Spain´s monopoly of trade and tyranny was seen as obstacles to the well-being and progress of those societies. The future champions of Latin American independence drew inspiration from the ideals of the French Revolution and from the US independence.
