How did French revolutionaries prefer to address the people?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: As citizens
French revolutionaries preferred the term “citizens” because it conveyed political rights, equality before the law and participation in the nation. In contrast, “subjects” suggested dependence on a monarch and obedience without equal political status. Nobles referred to a privileged estate, while foreigners were outside the national community. Therefore option A accurately reflects the Revolution’s new political vocabulary.
