Why did Bismarck consider power politics more effective than a liberal parliament?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because the liberal parliament could not implement unification
The governing concept is Realpolitik, or practical politics based on power rather than ideals alone. The Frankfurt Parliament discussed German unity but lacked the authority and military means to enforce it, and the Prussian king rejected its crown. Bismarck instead used the army, diplomacy and controlled conflicts, so option A is correct. B, C and D are historically false.
