Answer 1

The statement that most accurately compares the American, French, and Haitian governments following their independence movements is:

**Documents created by the American Revolution included rights that appealed to French commoners.**

The American Revolution produced important documents, such as the Declaration of Independence, which articulated Enlightenment ideals of individual rights and freedoms. These ideas greatly influenced the French Revolution and appealed to the desires of French commoners for rights and equality. The other options do not accurately capture the essence of the comparisons between the movements or the sentiments of the common people in France.
