Why should the economic demand of liberal nationalism not be understood separately from its political demand?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Both sought to organise citizens and markets within a unified nation
Liberal nationalism combined political and economic objectives. Politically, liberals demanded civil rights, representative institutions and equality before law. Economically, they wanted the removal of internal customs barriers and a common market. Both aims required people and economic activity to be organised within a unified nation-state. Option A is correct because it connects the two dimensions. The other choices deny this connection or reverse its effect.
