    A. Almost every one supported it at first, because the French seemed to be following the footsteps of the Americans.

    Explanation:

    The Americans at first were enthusiastic in support of the revolution but later division of opinions became apparent between the anti-federalists and federalists, when the rumours of political change in France reached US, they hoped that democracy would solidify their relations and transform France into a republican ally against the Britain.
