The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.
Events such as the Scientific Revolution, the Enlightenment, the American Revolution, and the French Revolution, were a cause of the Latin American revolutions in that these events represented major influences in Latin American leaders due to the many ideas about politics, the form of government, division of powers in government, social contract, citizens rights, liberty, equity, fraternity, progress, and the use of reason and logic instead of the teachings of the Catholic church to explain natural phenomena.
For instance, during the Enlightenment times, bright minds came up with great ideas about the above-mentioned topics. We are talking about great thinkers and philosophers like Voltaire, John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, Baron of Montesquiou, and Jean-Jaques Roseau.
These innovative political, economic, and social ideas served as an inspiration to leaders such as Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla and Agustín de Iturbide in México, or Simon Bolívar in South America.
