To determine the most likely reason why the American Revolution encouraged the Mexican people to revolt against Spain, we need to analyze the options given and consider the historical context.
A. Exposing Spain's lack of resources: While the American Revolution did result in Spain diverting some of its military and financial resources toward protecting its own American colonies, this alone would not have been sufficient to inspire the Mexicans to revolt.
B. Introducing new political principles to Mexico: This option seems more plausible. The American Revolution challenged the idea of monarchical rule and introduced the concept of a democratic government based on the principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These new political ideals could have influenced the Mexican people to question Spain's authority and seek independence.
C. Inspiring the French Revolution: While there were some connections and influences between the American and French Revolutions, the direct impact of the American Revolution on the Mexican people would be more significant than its influence on the French Revolution.
D. Showing that a colonial revolution could succeed: This option is also plausible. The success of the American colonies in gaining independence from a powerful European empire likely demonstrated to the Mexican people that a colonial revolution against Spain could indeed be successful.
Considering the options above and the historical context, it is most likely that B. Introducing new political principles to Mexico is the correct answer. The ideology of the American Revolution, with its emphasis on individual rights and self-governance, could have inspired the Mexican people to seek similar freedoms and ultimately revolt against Spanish colonial rule.
