1. The French Revolution began less than two decades after the American Revolution. In many ways, the American experience was an inspiration for the citizens of France. But the people of the two countries had different situations and had different concerns, which influenced the way each revolution began, progressed, and ended. In this assignment you will EITHER write an essay OR create a graphic organizer that compares and contrasts the two revolutions.
Be sure to include information on the economic, political, or social conditions that were present; events that took place as each revolution progressed; and the final outcome of each.
To begin, consider the characteristics of each country, such as the following:
• The status of ordinary citizens before the revolution
• The type of government in place
• The ability of the citizens to participate in their governance
• The people who stepped forward as leaders
• The taxes, laws, or social structure in place at the time
• The outcome of the revolution compared to its original goals
