Why did liberal nationalism clash with absolute rule?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it wanted to limit government through a constitution and representative institutions
Absolute rule concentrated authority in a monarch or a narrow ruling group and placed few effective limits on that power. Liberal nationalism demanded constitutional government, representative institutions, equality before law and civil rights. These principles required rulers to be accountable and legally restrained, so option A is correct. B, C and D describe absolutist or privileged politics, not liberal nationalism.
