Question 1ExpertLevel 7
If 4 August is called only a reform by National Assembly which popular side is missed?
Correct answer: A
The decision of 4 August 1789 to abolish feudal privileges was not simply a reform designed by representatives in isolation. It came during intense rural unrest, when peasants were attacking manor houses and destroying records of feudal dues. Their actions created strong pressure for the National Assembly to respond to anti-feudal anger. Therefore, option A, rural peasants’ anti-feudal pressure, identifies the popular side that would be missed. The other choices have no meaningful connection with the August decrees.
The Assembly formally ended many feudal privileges, including obligations that burdened peasants, but the background was a wider movement in villages. Peasants wanted relief from dues, rents, and lordly rights, and they acted when rumours and insecurity spread during the Great Fear. This shows how popular action could force political institutions to make major changes. Calling 4 August only an Assembly reform hides the role of ordinary rural people. The event is best understood as a response to both revolutionary politics and pressure from below.
Which point linked with the Estates-General outbreak shows procedural weakness of the Old Regime?
Correct answer: A
Under the Old Regime, voting in the Estates-General was by Estate, not by individual members. The privileged First and Second Estates could combine to defeat the Third Estate by 2 votes to 1, although the Third Estate represented most of the population. This procedural rule created a political conflict, leading the Third Estate to demand voting by head. Exam tip: clearly distinguish voting by Estate from voting by individual.
The role of urban poor in the outbreak of 1789 was most closely linked with which problem?
Correct answer: A
The food crisis of 1788–89 and poor harvests sharply raised the price of bread. Urban poor people spent much of their income on bread, and insecure work and wages intensified their anger. Therefore, they played an active role in the protests and uprisings of 1789. Profits from foreign trade were not the immediate issue affecting them. Exam tip: link urban unrest with expensive bread, food shortage, and unemployment.
