Why did the National Assembly hesitate to make an immediate law on slavery?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because merchants and plantation owners could oppose it

The governing concept is the political influence of economic interests. The National Assembly faced a conflict: revolutionary principles suggested that liberty and equality should apply broadly, but merchants and plantation owners benefited from colonial slavery and could resist a law threatening their profits and property claims. This pressure encouraged delay and caution rather than immediate abolition. Option C is correct because it identifies the influential groups whose opposition made the issue politically sensitive. Option A is false because slavery existed in French colonies. Option B is false because enslaved people did not already possess equal political rights, and option D confuses the Assembly’s period with Napoleon’s later actions. The answer is therefore about political hesitation caused by colonial interests.
