Solution

The element that revolutionaries during the French and American revolutions had in common was D. Both were motivated by John Locke's ideas about natural rights.

John Locke, an influential Enlightenment thinker, proposed the concept of natural rights, which include life, liberty, and property. These rights are inherent to all individuals regardless of their status or position in society. Locke's ideas greatly influenced the American Revolution, as they were integral to the Declaration of Independence. Similarly, during the French Revolution, the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen also reflected Locke's philosophy.

On the other hand, Karl Marx's ideas about class struggle were not yet formulated during the time of these revolutions. Adam Smith's mercantilist economic theories were not promoted by both revolutions. Thomas Hobbes's views on human nature, which suggested that humans are naturally selfish and quick to fight, were not a common element in these revolutions.
