How did the demand for political rights strengthen nationalism?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Citizens began to see themselves as active parts of the nation
Political rights, such as representation, voting and equality before law, gave people a recognised place in public life. When citizens demanded and exercised these rights, they began to identify themselves as members of a common political community rather than merely subjects of a monarch. This participation strengthened national feeling. Options B, C and D describe effects opposite to the historical development of nationalism.
