Compare and Contrast Revolutions

Question 8 • 8th Grade US History & Geography A

Which revolutions were caused by a reaction to absolute authority?

Answer
A
the American and French revolutions
B
the Glorious and American revolutions
C
the Glorious and French revolutions
D
the French, American, and Glorious revolutions

Explanation

The Glorious Revolution opposed James II’s efforts to rule with unchecked royal power, and the French Revolution challenged the absolute authority of the French monarchy. The American Revolution was mainly a response to British taxation and the colonists’ lack of representation, so it is not the best match for revolutions caused by a reaction to absolute authority. The correct choice is “the Glorious and French revolutions.”
