Answer:

Both revolutions were partially the result of people's concern about taxes.

Explanation:

Both the American and french revolution were the result of the burden of taxes on a particular section of society. While in America the oppressors were British colonial masters, the common people of France were under the burden of taxes of the priest and nobility. Secondly, the ideals of freedom and liberty advocated by philosophers like Locke and Rousseau influenced the revolutionary spirit of both the nations.

The correct answer is C.

Both revolutions were triggered due to a bad financial situation that led to the increase in the tax burden that mostly affected the unprivileged social classes. From this point onwards, the two revolutions developed based on the Enlightment principles as the unpriveleged claimed for decision power.

The Enlightenment philosophers, such as Locke, Monstequieu or Rosseau. introduced ideas that challenged, and ended up derrocating, the power structures of the Old Regime. They promoted reason and the scientific method over religious dogmatism and superstititions.

The main principles developed were the following: definition of bills of citizens' rights, social contract (citizens electing political representatives to create goverments through suffrage, in opposition to the prevailing absolute monarchies), and the division of the powers of the state in order to avoid excessive power accumulation in certain sectors, and risks of authoritarism.

Why did native americans, including Tecumseh’s confederacy, overwhelmingly side with the british during the war of 1812
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Tecumseh created a Native American confederacy to stop white settlement in the Northwest Territory.

Explanation:

Many Native Americans, including Tecumseh confederate, took side with the British during the War of 1812 because they believed that there was a need to unite together to preserve their lands, religion and right. Tecumseh led his supporters against the United States in many conflicts. The Native American decided to side with the British during the war because as settlers moved to the Northwest Territories and they created farms on Indian ground.
