What was the nationalist importance of the declaration of rights in France after the revolution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It presented citizens as members of an equal political community
The governing concept is citizenship-based nationalism. The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen asserted that people possessed rights and that citizens formed a common political community governed by principles of equality. This helped replace subjects of a monarch with equal citizens of a nation. It did not defend the king’s exclusive rights, sanctify feudal dues or reject the nation. Thus option A correctly states its nationalist importance.
