American Revolution Vs French Revolution Analysis

The American Revolution and French Revolution were two long lasting uprisings that had great value to those battling for their rights and want they wanted to change. Yet there are a few distinctions details set them apart in a small way. The Americans wanted a change in their government, but the French wanted a huge change in everything including their government, religion, social structure (whereas American’s social system stayed the same) and economy. Other than the few differences they had, they two Revolutions were much alike, basically twin revolutions.
The American revolution started when The King of Britain lost an immense amount of money. He bought high priced equipment and supplies for the army that basically costed an arm and a leg. Which led him to decide they would regain their money by taxing the colonist. His poor decisions of taxing the people without their agreement outraged them and sent them into a state of revolt.
Much like Britain and their need for money, King Louis XVI needed money due to causing France to become bankrupt with his costly

spendings. King Louis XVI pressured taxes onto his people thinking it would be a satisfying idea to get his money back. Clearly his behavior of taxing his people carelessly backfired on him. The taxes caused once again another revolt equivalent to the American Revolt.
Due to these events, The Americans and The French developed a common difference in their ideas from those of the government (people ruling). The Monarchs began losing the control they had for so long when the people of Britain and America began to fight back. The causes of the revolts were due to economical problems. The taxes were not what the huge argument was about, though, as commonly thought. The outrage of the people was mainly caused by the lack of reasons and benefits of taxing the people and other unfair laws.

Both revolutions had the same goals in mind throughout the revolutions. The revolutions were not mainly fought for independence, it was a developed goal. The colonist were battling for what they thought was right, how things should be and of course what benefited them. The people fighting all thought the government was treating them unfairly and they wanted a change of mind and ways.
The changes made by the American Revolution was a transformation for America. Soon after the American revolution started the Declaration of Independence was made as well as the Constitution. The documents made included constitutional rights and plans for a democratic government, which after the revolution was over helped America be able to make its own laws and control as wanted by the people. Yet not everybody was fighting for The Independence of taxing and benefits at the time. Some people fought for freedom of Religion. Not everyone had the same thing in mind but were all fighting for a change and fair rights.
The changes made by the French Revolution were much like those of the American Revolution. The French Revolution brought equal rights to the people, freedom of religion, and citizens before the law. Citizens before the law were the main goals of the people because it forbid actions, like those of King Louis who taxed the people without consultation with them first, to ever happen again. The citizens also gained rights of being able to believe and practice whatever religion they please without being told otherwise or forced into a religion they didn’t necessarily believe in.
I believe that the American Revolution and French Revolution were indeed actual revolts and that they were most certainly not citizens calling for their basic rights as some may believe, but that’s my opinion.

I believe that if people are being forced to tax without reasoning or benefits they should be able to fight back and want a change. I also believe that if someone believes in a religion that’s their business and they should not be told what's right or wrong. All of these unfair laws and things being down is reasonable to start a revolution and want a complete change. They got the changes they wanted and even made a great change in both America and France. A revolt is a rebellion and that's exactly what happened in these revolutions. All of this evidence leads me to believe these were, in fact, revolutions as clearly said in their names “The American Revolution” and “The French

Revolution”.
