The American and French Revolutions shifted political authority away from The divine right of kings. The people. The government. Religious leaders.

The American Revolution took the power away from the Monarch - the English monarch - and gave it to the people: so the correct answer is that it took the power away from the kings - who at the time were claiming that they had the divine right to rule.

It was not a revolution against the Church speficically so the answer "Religious leaders" is not correct.
