What did liberal nationalists want in German unification?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A constitutional nation state
Liberal nationalists in the German states supported individual rights, representative institutions and equality before the law. They wanted these principles to operate within a united German nation-state governed by a constitution, rather than through absolute princely rule. The Frankfurt Parliament of 1848 reflected this aspiration, although it failed to achieve unification. Therefore option A is correct; separation, French rule and colonisation were not their objective.
