Wasn't the American revolution like a decade before the French one?

Yep, you're right. After a quick search, it looks like the American Revolution started in 1765, and the French Revolution started in 1789.

However, I know French policies and political development had a profound impact on the ideas central to liberal democracies, as it could also be said of American policies and political development.
