The demand for equality in taxation during the French Revolution was against which problem?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Tax exemptions of privileged classes
Under the ancien régime, many privileged groups, especially sections of the clergy and nobility, enjoyed exemptions or lighter tax burdens while common people carried much of the fiscal load. The demand for equal taxation opposed this inherited inequality and expressed the revolutionary principle of civic equality. Option A is correct. Land rights, equal voting and the national flag do not identify the specific taxation problem described in the question.
