Question

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

Answer 1

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.
