How did the French Revolution change the old relation between nation and state?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The state was seen as citizens' system rather than the king's private property
The Revolution challenged the dynastic view that the state was essentially the king's personal possession. It promoted popular sovereignty: the nation was understood as a community of citizens, and the state was expected to serve their common political interests. This helped form the modern nation-state. Options B, C and D describe neither popular sovereignty nor the revolutionary transformation.
