Why did liberals oppose privileges based on birth?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because they wanted equality before the law for all citizens
Liberalism challenged inherited status and supported equality before the law, individual rights, and representative government. Birth-based privileges gave aristocrats advantages simply because of their family background. Option A is correct because it states the liberal demand for equal legal treatment; the other options defend aristocratic or feudal inequality rather than oppose it.
