Before the Revolution whose approval was needed before printing a book or newspaper in France?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Censors

The governing concept is state control of publication under the ancien régime. Before the French Revolution, royal authorities used censorship to examine and regulate books, newspapers and other printed works. A publication normally required approval from official censors before it could legally appear. This system aimed to prevent criticism of the monarchy, the Church or the existing social order from circulating freely. Option B is correct because censors were the officials who reviewed and authorised printed material. Option A is not correct: peasants were subjects, not publication authorities. Option C is unrelated to printing permission, and option D is wrong because foreign kings had no normal legal role in approving publications inside France. The question therefore tests the contrast between censorship before the Revolution and freer expression afterward.
