Question

Which outcomes did the Glorious, American, and French Revolutions have in common? Check all that apply.

the establishment of a more democratic government
the drafting of a document to protect civil liberties
the creation of a constitutional monarchy
the creation of a democratic republic
the end of violence and turmoil

Answer 1

Correct choices:
- the establishment of a more democratic government
- the drafting of a document to protect civil liberties

Why:
- Each movement reduced absolute monarchical power and increased popular or representative authority (England’s Glorious Revolution strengthened Parliament, the American Revolution created a representative republic, and the French Revolution asserted popular sovereignty).
- Each produced a rights document: England’s Bill of Rights (1689), the American Bill of Rights/Declaration of Independence, and France’s Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen.

Not common:
- creation of a constitutional monarchy (only England clearly; France briefly, America no)
- creation of a democratic republic (England did not)
- the end of violence and turmoil (none of the revolutions produced lasting peaceful conditions immediately)
