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 statement highlights the influence of Enlightenment ideas and the rights articulated in documents such as the Declaration of Independence, which inspired many French revolutionaries and commoners seeking similar rights and freedoms in their own struggle against monarchy and oppression.

The other statements are either misleading or inaccurate in their comparisons. For example, while the American Revolution did not prominently call for the end of slavery, the French Revolution's early ideals encouraged discussion about slavery, which ultimately led to actions in Haiti. The violence of the American Revolution primarily aimed at independence from Britain rather than serving as direct inspiration for the French Revolution in its early stages. Finally, the aspirations of the American Revolution were primarily focused on independence, not reconciliation with Britain after the war began.
