The appropriate answer is

Proportional representation (PR) is a term used to describe a range of electoral systems in which the distribution of seats corresponds closely with the proportion of the total votes cast for each party or individual candidate. PR offers alternatives to first past the post and other majoritarian voting systems based on single-member electoral areas, which tend to produce disproportionate outcomes and to have a bias in favour of larger political groups. PR systems by contrast tend to offer a better chance of representation to smaller parties and groups.
There are many different forms of proportional representation. Some are focused solely on achieving the proportional representation of different political parties (such as list PR) while others permit the voter to choose between individual candidates (such as STV-PR). The degree of proportionality also varies; it is determined by factors such as the precise formula used to allocate seats, the number of seats in each constituency or in the elected body as a whole, and the level of any minimum threshold for election.

svlad2 [7]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

As news traveled to Europe, other countries, many of whom were not on friendly terms with England, were shocked at the American victory at Saratoga. What some of these countries decide to do was to support the Continental Army and the 13 colonies. The Americans hoped other countries will help the Continental Army as a result of this major victory.

And indeed that was what happened. The French decided to ally with the American colonies and they sent weapons and supplies to the American colonies in order to help the Continental Army to defeat the British troops.

At that time, Great Britain had many enemies, the French being one of them.

After the Continental Army victory in the Battle of Saratoga, the help received from France was vital to win the Revolutionary War and finally getting independence from the English crown.
