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.**

This is because the American Revolution produced foundational documents such as the Declaration of Independence, which articulated rights and principles that inspired French revolutionaries during their own struggle for liberty and equality in the late 18th century. The other statements are either misleading or inaccurate.
