How were the American and French revolutions alike? name one political and one economic reason

Each revolution carries a double original pronciple. It destroys and creates. Both revolutions marked the birth of new bourgeois nations. Instead of the provinces and regions in France fenced off by various barriers, separate colonies separated and poorly connected with each other in America, new nations arose.

The American Revolution, like the French Revolution, called for to the struggle the "lower classes" - artisans without property, small craftsmen and poor farmers, who constituted a large group of the colonial population.
