Equality before law in liberalism challenged which old system?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: System of birth-based privileges
Under the old feudal and aristocratic order, legal rights and public privileges often depended on birth, estate, or social rank. Liberalism argued that citizens should be equal before a common law, so inherited advantages could not determine legal status. Therefore option A is correct. Options B, C, and D describe principles or institutions that liberalism generally supported, not the old system it challenged.
