The failure of the Frankfurt Parliament shows which weakness of the liberal middle class?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It lacked broad mass support and military power
The Frankfurt Parliament was dominated by liberal middle-class professionals who demanded constitutional government and German unity. However, it lacked an effective army and could not consistently mobilise peasants, workers and other popular groups behind its decisions. Monarchies therefore retained the practical power to suppress the movement. Options B and C are false because the assembly demanded a constitution and supported unity; D reverses what happened.
