Why was the abolition of feudal privileges necessary for nation-building in the French Revolution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because privileges were obstacles to equal citizenship
The governing concept is equal citizenship under a common legal order. Feudal privileges gave nobles and the clergy special rights, exemptions and status that were not available to ordinary people. Abolishing them removed a major legal and social hierarchy and helped define citizens as members of one nation. Option A is correct; B, C and D wrongly claim that privilege promoted equality or modern law.
