The Reasons For Starting The American And French Revolution

The reasons for starting the American and French Revolution coincide together, but also differentiate. First reason that relates is the financial problem within the two governments. The second purpose for the French revolution is inequality being placed on the colonies in America and the third estate (common people) in France. Lastly, a reason for enacting the revolutions was for the countries natural crises. These are the various reasons for starting the American & French Revolution.
Economics was a key part in enacting the French and American Revolution. Specifically, in France the third estate was getting taxed more than any other estate for debts not caused by them. Then in America, England made the stamp act which placed a tax on people who had newspapers and other documents and also put taxes on other products. These two countries both were angered by these taxes that they both got. The differences with these two taxes is that in France only the third estate had to pay for all the taxes where for the colonies, America and England citizens had to pay for these taxes and in fact English citizens had to pay more taxes. These taxes both set a base for the anger and purpose of the two revolutions.
For example, in America they didn’t have representatives in England, so they did not get a vote to taxes or other laws. Then in England, the third estate was the only ones paying taxes, always outvoted due to current government, and land ownership per amount of people was not equal. Specifically, the 3rd estate only had sixty-five percent of land but held nighty- eight percent of population. These examples show how both societies did not have equal rights but in France it was harder because they had unequal land, rights and power where in America it was only power and
