Answer:
While the French Revolution was a complex conflict with numerous triggers and causes, the American Revolution set the stage for an effective uprising that the French had observed firsthand.
Explanation:
The American Revolution was more successful in building and consolidating institutions, in solving the religious question with the First Amendment, but they also had advantages the French did not have. In terms of influence, the French Revolution has been more exportable than the American one.
It has long been almost a truism in European history that the French Revolution provided a great impetus to the rise of modern nationalism. Nationalism was highlighted by historian Carlton J.H. Hayes as a significant effect of the French Revolution across Europe. The effects on French nationalism was profound. Napoleon became such a heroic emblem of the country that the glory was quickly taken up by his nephew, who was unanimously elected president (and eventually became Emperor Napoleon III).The power was great in the hundreds of small German states and elsewhere, where it was either influenced by the French example or in reaction against it.
Thomas Paine wrote a pamphelt titled "Common sense" of which advocated independence from Great Britain, directed towards citizens of the thirteen colonies. The Pamphlet gave moral and political arguments to encourage the citizens of the thirteen colonies to fight for egalitarian government and independence.
Thomas Paine said that a Representational Government is superior to a Monarchy and other types of Government that were formed on aristocracy and heredity. (Aristocrats are people of high social class who are very rich and wealthy. A Noble or a King are examples of this. And heredity is a when a right, place, or thing, sometimes a person, is passed down to the descendant od the one who originally owned it.)

Answer:
Speaker 2
Explanation:
One of the main ideas of the Enlightenment is that of the Social Contract, developed by Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
According to this idea, people, by their own will, give up some of their freedoms to the state, in exchange for protection and the administration of justice. By the same logic, if the rulers govern in ways that go against the wishes of the people, then they have the right to depose their rulers because they would be violating the social contract.
For this reason, speaker 2 would be the one who mostly agrees with enlightenment ideas, because speaker 2 is expressing the idea of the social contract, and the right of the people from the colonies to depose their ruler: King George III.
