How did the declaration of adult male suffrage change the idea of citizenship in France?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It widened political participation beyond property ownership
The governing concept is the expansion of citizenship through political participation. Under restricted suffrage, voting depended largely on property or wealth, so many adult men had no direct political voice. Adult male suffrage recognised that political rights should extend to ordinary male citizens, not only propertied elites. It was still limited because women remained excluded. Option A is correct; B, C and D narrow or destroy participation rather than expand it.
