What limitation of Romantic nationalism should be remembered for exams?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It emphasised emotional unity but did not fully solve political problems
Romantic nationalism used shared language, folklore, history, poetry and cultural memories to create an emotional sense of common identity. This could inspire resistance and solidarity, but emotion alone could not settle questions of political power, borders, representation or the rights of minorities. Option A gives the balanced conclusion. Options B, C and D are incorrect because Romantic nationalism was neither automatically constitutional nor purely economic, and it valued culture strongly.
