Why was a uniform system of weights and measures introduced after the French Revolution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To simplify trade and administration
Different local units of weight and measurement caused confusion, disputes and difficulty in buying, selling and collecting information. A uniform system gave traders, administrators and citizens a common standard, making transactions and governance more predictable. Hence option A is correct. Protecting royal symbols, increasing church power and imposing foreign rule were not purposes of this practical revolutionary reform.
