Question

Which of the following best explains how the American, French, and Haitian Revolutions are related?(1 point)

Debt from supporting the American Revolution led King Louis XVI to raise taxes at the Estates-General. The Third Estate objected to new taxes and wrote the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. The declaration inspired a revolt of the enslaved population in Haiti.

French plantation owners in Haiti followed the example of the American colonists and declared independence from France. King Louis XVI had to raise taxes to fight the Haitian Revolution. The Third Estate objected to new taxes and wrote the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen.

King George III had to raise taxes to pay his debts from the French Revolution. The Americans wrote the Declaration of Independence in response to the Coercive Acts and new taxes, which inspired a revolt of enslaved people in Haiti.

The revolt of enslaved people in Haiti inspired the French people of the Third Estate to write the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. The American colonists wrote the Declaration of Independence in response.

Answer 1

The first option.

France’s debt from helping the American Revolution worsened its fiscal crisis, prompting Louis XVI to call the Estates‑General and push new taxes. The Third Estate’s objections helped spark the French Revolution and the Declaration of the Rights of Man, whose ideas then inspired the enslaved people’s revolt in Saint‑Domingue (Haiti).
