How does the study of Marianne and Germania show the limitation of seeing nationalism only as an administrative idea?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It shows that nationalism was also made through symbols, emotions and visual identity
The governing concept is that nationalism is both political and cultural. Administrative institutions may organise a state, but they do not by themselves create emotional attachment to a nation. Marianne in France and Germania in Germany personified the nation through recognisable female figures, dress, objects and expressions. Thus, option A is correct; the other choices reduce nationalism incorrectly to taxation, military organisation or commerce.
