The decision to abolish monarchy was not only against Louis XVI personally but against what?

Correct answer: Against the whole system of hereditary monarchy

The governing concept is the distinction between opposing a ruler and rejecting the political institution that gives that ruler hereditary authority. Louis XVI was an individual king, but the revolutionary decision of 1792 went further: it abolished monarchy itself. The new republic challenged the principle that political power should pass through a royal family by birth. It therefore represented a wider attack on hereditary privilege and absolutist political traditions, not merely a personal punishment for Louis XVI. Option A is correct because it identifies the whole system of hereditary monarchy. Option B concerns food supply, C concerns agriculture, and D is incorrect because the National Convention was the body that declared the monarchy abolished.
