3. The answer is No, in the long term the French revolutions may seem successful but in the long term, it is not as successful as the American revolution.

Explanation:

Napoleon was one of the foremost and brilliant military strategists in the History. However, the way he was perceived differed vastly during his reign.

In the early years of his military victories and leadership, he was popular among the common people and was regarded as a hero.

However, when his poor decisions cost France many military defeats,  Human lives and declined the economy, people did not see him as a savior   or a hero. The just saw him as an arrogant monarch who clings to the power just like those who were before him.

French revolution was successful at dethroning the Louis the 16th and abolishing the Monarchy. However, they were not able to establish a strong democracy and a republic based on their principles and had a weak constitution that eventually fell when Napoleon Bonaparte rose to power and became the "New Emperor".

The American revolution in contrast, afterwards they were able to draft a strong constitution that depends on a federal governing system with an executive president. They too faced a civil war, but it was not because of any fault in their constitution. It was because of President Lincoln's radical move to abolish slavery.
