Answer:

The correct answer is 3. Revolutions in France and Latin America were based on the idea of natural rights.

Explanation:

The French Revolution was one of the main influences for the Latin American independence revolutions.

With respect to the ideas of the French Revolution that influenced the Latin American revolutions, perhaps the fundamental one is the disqualification of the monarchy as a form of government and the exaltation of the republican form. Another influence is the importance given to the preparation of a written constitution as a founding element of a nation. The very idea of a nation as an organized community with a common mission and destiny -aside from dynastic questions- also has to do with the French Revolution. The issue of the defense and imposition of the revolutionary process by means of weapons also recalls the process experienced in France. The idea of freedom associated with self-government and the non-dependence of distant authorities not elected by citizens can also be seen as an influence.
