The French revolution and the American Revolution both have some similar qualities about them. Part of the reason is that they were both planned by Marquis de Lafayette. But they are also really different in other ways, because they are two different countries with different cultures and stuff. The American Revolution had a lot of help from the country France. They helped us economically and help with military. Once the American Revolution was over they became a republic and then went to Paris to sign the treaty. When the French return to their home country they realized that they didn't have the freedoms that we had and that they helped fight for. So France started to plan a revolution of their own.…

In 1787, the framework of the French Revolution was established through delegates assembling in Philadelphia during the American Revolution, which marked the end of the economic depression in America and increased central government authority. This made the American power increase from Montesquieu’s ideas of checks and balances and interest around the world. The American Revolution influenced the French through the numerous pamphlets and articles written about classical liberalism that Americans were undergoing, whereas the French took these ideas of a republic and this sparked the French Revolution. The ideas of these French participants went from requests of removing government neglect, which later led to demands of liberty for the people in the country, and then turned the people towards radical efforts of protecting the French Revolution.…

Locke spoke of the rights of citizens and the power of government not ruling and depriving their colonist. Montesquieu spoke of separation of power.…
The French were important in the American Revolution because they formed alliances with the American, and with great ideas, were those who helped to defeat the British. France and England had their antecedents; therefore the role that I played France was great motivation to fight with those with whom they had been fighting time ago. To say that the Americans could not have been without the French is something uncertain because the facts were others and the only way to know is if it had been without the help of France. I think that the fact of the union in the confrontation was what gave an impulse to the arrival of success. In the Franco-Indian War, France was responsible for helping the American Revolution with the help of the British in the…

Social tensions were very different within the two revolutions. The American Revolution was a war against the outside force, Great Britain. The French Revolution was a war within its own country. In the French Revolution, the third estate rebelled within their society against the first and second estate. While in America there was an absence in the class systems. The French class system was differentiated into three separate estates. The first estate included the clergy. The second estate contained the wealthy or aristocrats. The third estate was made up of the rest of the society, the peasants. The legal distinctions lacking in America brought everyone on the same social status with equal rights. In France rights varied between social classes. The top estates had no taxes and many other privileges that were inaccessible to the third estate. Before the American Revolution the British had been so lenient and tolerant to the colonies, that it was a sudden change when they began to be strict with their controls over the colonies. Socially, the French and the American Revolution were unique.…

The French Revolution, one of the most popular revolutions in history, is one that resembles the American Revolution in many ways. In the French Revolution, King Louis XVI was overthrown and replaced with a new constitution, as was King George III in the American Revolution. Both of the new constitutions established an up to date government that was different than the previous one. The French Revolution and the American Revolution both involved a change in power but also both resisted a powerful monarchical government who was controlling them at the time. Both revolutions were a struggle for independence and the nation's identity, but the French were not forced to rebel against their own government as the Americans were and there revolution was very different as the fighting was not as prolonged. Since the American Revolution and the French Revolution were very much the same, with America having the tougher time, it can be concluded that the American Revolution was infact a…
