The correct answer is: "tyrannical monarchies in power".
<u>Both the French Revolution and the American Revolution were influenced by the principles of the Enlightment.</u>
The Enlighment movement emerged in Europe in the 18th century and it was constituted by philosophers that promoted Reason and the scientific method over medieval superstition and religious dogmas, and the establishment of democratic societies where the power resided on its people, and <u>not in absolute monarchs or rulers "appointed by God"</u>. The resulting states that emerged based on the principles of this movement, enacted bills of civil rights for the first time in history, and implemented principles such as the division of powers or the social contract, through which citizens elected their governors by suffrage.
Such Enlightment principles were transferred to the American colonies, where the population claimed for political representation rather than being governed by foreigners that were appointed by a foreign king. Such claims were ignored and the colonies, influenced by the new democratic principles, started several revolutionary movements for independence aiming to establish new independent states based on the Enlightment principles like in Europe.
The answer is C, the Americans were proud that they resisted British occupation.
Hope this helps!
Dear Grand Daughter
I don't know if I will still be there when you get a chance to read this letter.
Things must have changed a lot by the time you read this.
I am an old man already, and belong to a different time. In our era, large and extended families loved together and loved each other. However, I already see large families breaking up and everyone being very individualistic, something I detest.
However, I have seen some amazing changes take place in front of me. I saw the development and growth of Radio, Telephone, Airplanes, Movies and TV! And I can't imagine the things you would see in your time.
Just remember one thing my love, change is the only constant in life. Never feel bad about it! Embrace it and you will be successful, if you avoid it, you will only Perish
I hope you find this letter in a time and place where you feel the happiest and I only wish the best for you
Yours truly
Your Grand dad
