Which statement best sums up the impact of the French Revolution on South American revolutions?

Ann [662]

The correct answer is When Napoleon invaded Spain, it gave the South American revolutionaries the chance to challenge the power of the crumbling Spanish colonialist government.

The French Revolution marked the rise of the bourgeoisie as a dominant social class, overcoming the landowning aristocracy, as well as the creation of new institutions and new ways of organizing the economic, political and social life that would expand throughout the planet.

With the French Revolution, capitalism broke through the feudal political obstacles that still prevailed in Western Europe, joining the economic transformations unleashed with the Industrial Revolution.

These changes had been prepared since the 17th and 18th centuries, with the development of Enlightenment rational thought. For the Enlightenment, reason could assist all men in explaining the phenomena of nature and the way in which society is organized.

Not that the Illuminists were essentially revolutionaries. But the Enlightenment ideas served, along with the use of reason to interpret the world, for the French revolutionaries questioned the sacred character of power, defended by kings, aristocracy and the Church.

All men could exercise power. But for that, it was necessary to create institutions that would guarantee this exercise. In this sense, the Republic was the main one of these institutions. It represented the end of the privileges of the aristocracy and the liberation of peasants from the bonds of serfdom that bound them to the nobility and the clergy. In the cities, feudal corporations that limited the business of the bourgeoisie ended.

But even before the French Revolution, the Enlightenment ideals had already made it possible for English settlers in North America to achieve Independence from the USA and also to build a Republic. But the biggest boost was even given by the French Revolution, thanks to the power of the French state.

The French Revolution also influenced other<u> processes of independence on the American continent. In 1794, the enslaved Africans who worked in the sugar cane fields of Haiti managed to end slavery after a bloody war of independence. It was the first country on the continent to end slavery</u>.

Historically, the Roman civilization followed what political evolution?

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Kingdom, Republic, Empire

(The Period of Kings (625-510 BC), Republican Rome (510-31 BC), and Imperial Rome (31 BC – AD 476)).

<h2>How was the political structure of the Roman Republic/Empire?</h2>

Depending on whichever time you choose to observe, the system of the Roman Empire changes. A different group known as the Etruscans dominated the Romans at the beginning of their history. It was a monarchy throughout this time period.

However, the romans conquered the etruscans in 509 B.C., and as a result, they abhorred anything connected to their foreign overlords. As a result, they established a republic that had some degree of democracy. It was run by a senate made up of Rome's 200 richest families, and the only time a dictatorship was supported was in the event of a serious emergency like war or widespread hunger. Then the senate would choose a dictator who would be given six months to reign before stepping down. These two individuals, who were chosen to serve as the republic's consuls for a year, held the potential to seize brief dictatorship. It lasted for centuries and was known as The Roman Republic.

Nevertheless, it started to deteriorate in 49 B.C. when Julius Ceaser declared himself to be a lifelong ruler. However, in 44 B.C., senators assassinated him. Following it, it first appeared as though The Roman Republic had been rescued.

But that wasn't the case. Octavius (Augustus), Julius Ceaser's adoptive son, was chosen to serve as a republican consul. Later, the Roman Republic was replaced by the Roman Empire in 31 B.C. after Octavius triumphed in a civil war. A monarchy was founded in this system, and the first Emperor was Octavius, who was given the honorific name Augustus in 27 B.C. It remained an empire and a monarchy after that.

One last point to be made about the system is that the church gained more sway in politics when Constantine the Great made Christianity the official religion of Rome.

Therefore, in conclusion to this, Rome mainly had two political systems throughout their time in existence, The Roman Republic and The Roman Empire.
