Which statement shows that German unification moved away from democratic ideals?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It was completed not through a representative parliament but through the Prussian army and monarchy
The governing concept is the contrast between liberal-democratic nationalism and conservative state power. The Frankfurt Parliament attempted to create a united Germany through representation, but its effort failed. Bismarck then achieved unification through Prussian diplomacy, military force and monarchy. Therefore, national unity was achieved without a fully democratic process. The peasants’ assembly, French command and Papal leadership described in the other options did not produce German unification.
